While it’s no longer October, it’s still autumn
and beer season (isn’t it always beer season?) so I have to tell you about
another brewery here in the Inland Northwest that I really enjoy. It’s in
Spokane and it’s called No-Li. I haven’t been there too many times but I’ve
found you can buy their beer in other places around here. One of my favorites is
their March Forth IPA. I always like a citrusy IPA and this one is nice and
orange-y and oranges are my favorite citrus fruit. I don’t claim to be a big
fan of fruity beers but I don’t really think of those citrus tones in an IPA to
be all that fruity, they just add a freshness to a typically bitter flavor and
for me the combination is great. But have no fear. At No-Li you can get a
variety of beers from my favorite IPA’s to stouts and Hefeweizens.
The
brewery itself is in a kind of strip mall just east of the Gonzaga campus on
the Spokane River. It has good pub food that is reasonably priced and, like I
said, good beer. Next door to the brewery is also Dry Fly Distillery. (It has
nice Gin.) The parking lot area is the typical non-descript suburban strip mall
but then you walk into the mall, down a hallway past the distillery into the
micro-brewery and it’s almost a world of its own with views out onto the river.
Inside there is the bar with plenty of televisions (all silenced) so you can
watch a game. I’m suspecting the place is hopping during the Zag games, but I
have never been there during any game of particular interest to me. At any
rate, the place is a fun spot with good beer and for that I am grateful.
