Pint Defiance, a craft and specialty beer store and taproom on the edge of Fircrest
Why do you serve?
"I serve for the love of great craft beer. This answer is complete cheese, but I mean it."
Who is your favorite server in the South Sound?
"Oof, I have to pick just one? Sean at the Parkway seems to have a preternatural sense for knowing what I want before I do."
What are you most proud to serve?
"Anything local. I love being able to say, 'Here, a guy I know made this.'"
What's your current drink of choice?
Berliner Weisse
Favorite movie?
"No Country for Old Men"
What don't you serve?
"I try not to get snobbish about beer but you won't find me cracking any 'cold-activated' cans, if you catch my drift.
What's on your radar at Pint Defiance?
We always have awesome events on our calendar - Deschutes Brewer's Night on June 11, a sour beer night on June 25. I'm also looking forward to all the summer seasonal releases that are hitting our shelves. I'll be trying them all ... ya know ... for research.
