Ellensburg felt like a normal country town, surrounded by hay fields and providing services to their population, not just tourists. However, it never felt like a normal country town because the snow-capped peaks in the distance show that it is still a draw for outdoor recreation. Whipsaw has a nice outdoor patio with plenty of seating. There are vines and bushes encircling the patio, adding just enough greenery to shield the view of the industrial area and road. Trees shade most of the seats. We tried three small samples, one of them being Craig's Cream Ale. Whenever I see a beer with my name on it, I always get it, meaning I'm one for one in selecting Craig's Ales.

Iron Horse brewery is in a new location as of a few years ago and is now in a much larger space…read more It's very welcoming since they have TVs, popcorn, an arcade, and best of all a drum circle that meets every Sunday at 1 PM. How cool is that?! They're also very kind and dog friendly. The beer is awesome and have many different options, including IPAs, but also stout and heavier stuff they're well known for. The best of all is the friendly people you'll find here. My beertender was Casey and she couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. We will definitely return.

I haven't had Iron Horse beer for quite a while. They had a previous taproom and I paid it a visit…read moreat least once and had their Irish Death a few times before getting distracted with other opportunities to try other beers and other breweries. But I saw the beer here that I wasn't familiar with. It was their Mexican Cocoa Death. This was a nice, dark ale with a chocolate presence and spices I enjoy like vanilla, cinnamon and allspice and then to give it a touch of heat some pasilla peppers. All those flavor characteristics stood out quite nicely and I got a freshly rekindled appreciation for Iron Horse because I do love beers and ales like this. I look forward to having more rounds with this beer!

This review is for the boba portion of the market…read more West side boba drinkers: the process on how they make their boba is exactly like hardwok cafe in seattle. black tea based, powder flavoring, non-dairy creamer. I am an avid boba drinker, I will travel often to the west side to grab boba from my favorite boba shops in Chinatown and I have to say this is the best boba in central Washington. *I've tried all the boba places in yakima and this still cannot be beat. Things to know: -They use a non-dairy creamer -Price ranges around $5-6 per drink (additional for the toppings) -Taro, Coconut, and Honeydew are my top #3 flavors -They close at 7pm and boba runs out before then -Try the Taro Custard if you like Taro -Pomegranate Milk Tea is actually incredibly refreshing -The Jasmine Green Milk Tea is not your average Jasmine Milk Tea The boba is good for being in central Washington, but the price is inflated because of the niche market here in the area. I don't personally believe that it is worth around $6 a cup, but because of the quality and convenience, you can see me grabbing a cup twice a week. My go-to drink: Taro Milk Tea OR Honeydew Milk Tea with Boba and Taro Custard. Here's a tip to puncture your cup professionally: lean the cup towards you or away from you, and stab the side that visibly has less liquid! Good luck Boba Suckers!

The wines are as solid as ever (big fan of their new releases), but the real standout was the guy pouring. Super friendly, chill, and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. No pretense, just good wine and good convo. Bonus points for having food to snack on and beer options for the non-wine folks. It's got everything you need for a laid-back afternoon. This spot might just be my favorite Gård location. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town.
