Around the time the Covid pandemic began, spring of 2020, I went into blog hibernation on this site. This was due to some google changes I didn't process, had nothing to do with masking up or getting tested or all those pandemic things. New breweries that had been in the planning stages in 2019 managed to open in 2020 in spite of the challenges of that time. One such was
District Brewing, right here about five blocks from my apartment. They opened in the late spring with pizza to go or eat outside and a choice of beers in 12-oz cans available from the get-go. The site used to be the Lyric Theatre, a cinema back in the day, and they name their pizzas for classic old movies. The beer names not so much, with one noble exception. Sean Connery passed away in 2020 and District, then bringing out a rich, malty Scotch ale, named it Connery Scotch, a tribute to the Scottish actor.
As pandemic restrictions eased up last year, indoor dining came back to District. Two views from
the balcony level, one out toward the Skagit River, with the Mount Vernon Farmers Market in the foreground, the other looking at the 15-barrel brewing system through the huge glass window wall. My next stop will be for a Red October pizza (Go, Phillies!) and a pint of Connery Scotch.
