Your weekly roundup

Catching up with more news from the week in local craft beer:

• No-Li is no stranger to taking home medals from beer competitions. And now it’s starting to win business awards, too.

Spokane’s largest brewery won the Entrepreneurial Spirit trophy at Wednesday’s annual AGORA Awards , presented by the Greater Spokane Incorporated business development organization. That recognizes “innovation, creativity, perseverance and leadership when launching or growing a business or idea.”

The new award follows the silver medal No-Li took in April for Food Processor of the Year in Seattle Business magazine’s Washington Manufacturing Awards.
