Your weekly roundup

Some odds and ends from the past week in local craft beer:

– LINC Foods has scheduled a May 11 showcase event for its new locally grown and produced Palouse Pint malt. Along with beers made with the malt by Bellwether, Big Barn, Black Label, Hopped Up, No-Li, Perry Street and Young Buck, plus spirits from Tinbender, there will be food including malted tortillas and pretzels, and a pig roast; tickets are $43.19, with proceeds supporting Second Harvest Inland Northwest .

– Black Label today brewed its collaboration SMaSH (single-malt, single-hop) with Badass Backyard for next month’s Spokane Craft Beer Week, using Palouse Pint pale malt.

– Facing a series of costly improvements to bring the taproom at its home-based Millwood brewery up to code, Badass is seeking a new taproom location .

– New Boundary has added an all-ages section to its Cheney taproom to make it family friendly.

– Chewelah’s Quartzite has added Thursdays from 3 to 8 p.m. to its taproom hours (along with Friday, 3-9 and Saturday, 2-9) and now has enough of a beer supply to start filling growlers .

– Downdraft has launched a Golden Growler program, with lifetime $8 fills for $250 up front ($225 through April 26).

– Moscow’s Rants & Raves is pouring its first house-brewed beer , an IPA.

– Perry Street has started serving a half-dozen sandwiches out of its recently revamped kitchen.

– Finally, a shout-out to James Patterson of IBU (Inland Brewers Unite), who won the Spokane homebrew club’s A Light in the Dark competition with a session IPA; he now gets to brew a commercial batch at Black Label to be served on tap there.
