I'm in the initial phase of doing some work with the Washington Beer Commission.

They advocate for Washington state brewers, produce festivals like Washington Beer Festival, and do a lot of other great work on the ground in partnership with local WA brewers.
One of the big possible goals this year is to generate some real excitement, awareness and identity of "Washington beer"... Much like "Oregon wine" or "Wisconsin cheese".
As we consider this, I'm really curious if you have any thoughts on the matter.
Do you have any existing opinions or concepts about "Washington beer"? Do you have any favorite WA brewers? Is there an awareness about WA hops (it seems much of U.S. hops production is done here in Yakima valley)? If you were charged with helping get the word out about "Washington beer", what would you do?
Any other thoughts/opinions/ideas you have would be much appreciated and very useful, about "Washington beer", its identity, and the possible effort to really ramp it up as far as visibility in the craft brewing world. Thanks!
