New Eastside Brewery! Foggy Noggin Brewery to Open in Bothell

As reported today on the Washington Beer Blog, there will be a new nano-brewery opening up in Bothell.

Foggy Noggin Brewery will specialize in English Styled Ales with plans to produce 2 flagship styles; an English Bitter called Bit O'Beaver and a Robust Porter called interestingly enough, Christmas Duck on their tiny half barrel (yup, that's one keg at a time!) system.

They are currently going through their final steps of permitting hoping to stage their grand opening sometime in December or January. They have not disclosed distribution plans, but they will have a tasting room in Bothell where their product will be available.
