I recently compiled a list of restaurants, breweries, brewpubs, and good beer reads that I follow on Twitter.

You can also find a list of my favorite breweries and brewpubs that I’ve reviewed on Yelp. One of them might even have been featured in the Yelp Weekly newsletter for Seattle (just throwing that out there)!
Best WA Breweries/Brewpubs
Where to find the best beer in Washington (in my opinion)!

Fantastic Seattle Beer Bars
If you love your beer, these places are a MUST visit! They may not brew their own beer, but they sure know how to keep the best beer on tap!

Seattle Weekly Yelp Featured Lists 6/1/2009
My List “
Fantastic Seattle Beer Bars” was featured today in the Seattle Weekly Yelp newsletter. Of course, I don’t actually subscribe to the newsletter so it was my friend (who now lives in St. Louis but loves to keep up on Seattle happenings) who let me know that I was featured.
This is one of my prized lists besides the WABL (Washington Associate of Beer Lover’s) List where I record the best places in WA to drink and enjoy great beer. Since we are constantly traveling in search of good beer, I am able to constantly keep my lists up to date.
Anyway, I hope to create more lists in the future as I think they are a great way to compile and group restaurants, breweries, and attractions while seeing how much I enjoyed them at the same time. Stay tuned for a Yakima (all you can eat, drink, and have fun) list from our recent Memorial Day Weekend adventure!
I will soon be writing my 100th Yelp review. I’ve been Yelping since October 2008 and became Yelp Elite shortly after the new year in 2009. Since then, I have documented my explorations from the east coast to the west coast and met some great people during the Elite events around Seattle.
Tonight, I’ll be attending my 2nd Yelp Elite event at Cinebarre in Mountlake Terrace which is a new 21+ dinner and drinks movie theater. I’m pretty excited about the opportunity to try out this new place especially since we’re getting a sneak preview before tomorrow’s Grand Opening!
I have lots of URLs. And unlike most people, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. You see in just a few short months I will become a Sullivan. Now that’s great because my intials won’t changem, but what about all my web presences where I am known as “cswenton.” Lets review my plan:
1. Yelp – From the begining, I have been know as “Cathy S.” Great! This will obviously work going forward and a few weeks back I secured the URL alias of cathysull. So my new Yelp URL is now: http://cathysull.yelp.com.
2. Flickr – Now onto Flickr…I have been on Flickr for years now and used swenton as my alias (which is also used in the URL). I checked the availability and cathysull is available. When should I make the switch…
3. Twitter – I secured my handle. Just in case I decide to starting Twittering. http://twitter.com/cathysull
4. cathy.swenton.com – Now onto the precense that brings everything together. What do I do here?
I guess the real question is when to introduce the confusion. Do I wait until September or start now? I think I’ll take the plunge.
