Black Raven Brewing Company, Redmond

###In Focus: Black Raven Brewing Company * **Founded:** 2009 * **Specialty:** craft beers brewed in Old-World styles with Northwest flavors * **Taproom:** The Raven’s Nest, an intimate space serving pints, sample trays, and beer to go in growlers or bottles * **Award-winning brew:** bourbon-barrel-aged La Petite Mort, winner of a silver medal at the 2010 World Beer Cup * **Backyard brew:** Fresh Hop saison, made with just-picked, local hops * **Year-round brew:** Totem pale ale * **Does the taproom serve food?** No, but guests can sample selections from food trucks in the parking lot, order food for delivery, or bring in their own concessions. * **When to go:** Stop by on a Wednesday afternoon to taste a special cask ale—past offerings have included porters brewed with blueberry rooibos and tequila-soaked orange peel, or an ale spiced with jerk seasoning.
