#gifted, we have published our review of their Cask Exchange. 
To whet your appetite, here’s an esoteric way to describe our thoughts.
Smoke, orchard fruit, citrus zest, and a ribbon of peat — Westland Distillery and Fair Isle Brewing continue one of Seattle’s most compelling barrel collaborations.
Built from Fair Isle’s saison program and shaped by Westland’s peated whiskey casks, Fair Isle Cask Exchange and Pjotr showcase what happens when brewery and distillery truly speak the same flavor language. Expect barbecue smoke, baked pear, tart citrus, layered malt, and a finish that lingers like a campfire at golden hour.
Two pours. One shared barrel story. 🥃🍺

Westland Distillery and Fair Isle Brewing turn peat, saison, orchard fruit, and barbecue smoke into one of Seattle’s most compelling barrel collaborations. Fair Isle Cask Exchange and Pjotr prove great casks can tell two stories at once. 🥃🍺

@EllenInEdmonton That for that!
Regarding #PDX (Portland), we start by suggesting #BeerMongers and #Apex (beer bars and bottle shops). Both have a plethora of local and exceptional beers.
Breweries are a bit tougher because has their charm. But #UprightBrewing never disappoints, nor does #ChuckanutBrewing (based out of Bellingham, Washington), #GreatNotion (if you like confection-inspired beer or hazy ipas), #BreaksideBrewery, #CascadeBrewing (fruited source), and finally #LivingHaus and #WayfinderBeer.
For #Seattle, we suggest #PikeBrewing because it's one of the oldest and in the Pike Place Market, #Cloudburst (2 locations), #HolyMountainBrewing, #FairIsleBrewing or #StoupBrewing (or pretty much most in the #Ballard area). But if you're focused on East Seattle, then #RavennaBrewing, #BurkeGilman, #LaddAndLassB #GeorgetownBrewing, or #BigTimeBrewing. Don't forget about bottle shops/draught-houses #bottleworksbeer, #ChucksHopShop, #BrouwersCafe, and #StumblingMonk (#CapitolHill).
