No - but luke-warm I guess, on a global scale at least.
Fairbanks, Alaska?

Right direction from SLO, but too far so you've ended up cooler.
Salt Lake City, UT?

Without looking at a map, probably similarly warmish.

Definitely warmer - but not hot.

Those hills remind me of eastern Montana or Wyoming.

Wyoming is definitely getting colder, Red Bluff is probably as warmish as one of the previous answers but is not hot.
Nobody's said the right state/province yet.

Still just guessing, but Banff?

Possibly a bit warmer, but not by much, and it's not Alberta either.
Boise, Idaho?

No, but definitely getting warmer (at last!)
Looking at a map of Idaho, I see a beer-themed town: Cascade?

Heh. No - getting warmer but still not hot. And it's a rather bigger town than that.
Coeur D'Alene, Idaho?

Inching closer, but it's not Idaho.
Vancouver?

Not that big! Anywhere in Canada is quite a bit colder than some of the previous answers.
There's a drink connection of sorts.

Dang, this is a hard one. Spokane, WA?

Fully WAG - Carson City, Nevada - In the Sierra Navada mountains (the beer connection?)

Finally we're getting somewhere! It's taken a long time, and me saying that Vancouver, Idaho and northern California were all sort of equally warmish, but yes we are in Washington.
Spokane and Yakima are both too big, but are both about equally hot.
As a bit of a further clue - those hills look pretty dry, which doesn't sound like coastal Washington to me, so think about that whilst still staying roughly equidistant from Spokane and Yakima.

Let's try Walla Walla, Washington, just because it's fun to say (and reminds me of Looney Tunes).

We have a winner! It is indeed Walla Walla, a town of 33k in the SE corner of Washington state, probably best known today for its vineyards.
However, there's also an interesting slavery link since we were doing that. I'm not an expert on this stuff but I've been doing some reading about slavery among the tribes of the PNW. It's pitched as "good" slavery in that it is claimed to have been not as severe as in some other places, I suspect that's just because they were less into fixed farming that allows one to build plantations. If you're mostly fishing then it's pretty easy for mistreated slaves to steal a canoe and escape, so there's an incentive not to be too hard on them.
Anyway, from what I've been reading, it seems Walla Walla was sort of the PNW equivalent of Liberia or Sierra Leone, it was inhabited by slaves from other tribes freed by the Nez Percé. So apologies for being a bit obscure, but I thought it was interesting.
@3 Dawg Night is up next.

@Northern_Brewer is definitely more intellectual with this than I am! I'm just picking skylines for places where I've enjoyed drinking good beer!
I spent three weeks here for work, a little over a decade ago. It was delightful! The hotel where I stayed had a pub/tavern with outdoor seating on the bottom floor, and I ate a delicious dinner and drank some great local beer almost every night I was there. Any more details would give it away, so I'll save those for hints (if needed).
It's not the most interesting picture, but it's the best I could find.

Perhaps it's a view of Munich I've never seen? SWAG is Munich.
Colder.

Stuttgart? Somehow I don't think so though...doesn't look right.
Stuttgart is warmer from both Nuremburg and Munich.

Weird shaped streets, look like its on/near a river. Maybe Cologne?
Cologne is cooler, relative to Stuttgart
Edit: Sorry, for some reason missed a bunch of posts! Was still responding to @Northern_Brewer post. Facepalm!
