Sip Northwest Magazine Announces the 2017 Best of the Northwest!

(Seattle, WA – October 6th, 2017) – Sip Northwest magazine is excited to release its sixth annual Best of the Northwest issue. This collector’s edition showcases the winners of the grand tasting competition from wine, beer, spirits and cider, along with top Northwest beverage trends, locally focused restaurant and bars, upright industry influencers and more.
 
An open call for submissions last spring drafted more than 530 entries from wine, 263 beers, 114 from spirits and 130 ciders. The magazine recruited an accomplished, qualified group of nearly 80 of the Northwest’s premier palates to assess and determine the top four, plus Judges’ Picks, in each respective beverage category. Together, Sip Northwest and the judging panels built a comprehensive listing of medaled winners to add to readers’ liquor cabinets, beer fridges, wine cellars and cider coolers.
 
The issue also profiles some of the most influential personalities in each beverage, along with features of locally supporting restaurants, bars, tours, festivals and retailers.
 
“This competition is always so eye-opening as to what spectacular beverages are being produced across the Pacific Northwest,” says Erin James, editor-in-chief of Sip Publishing, publishers of Sip Northwest. “As an authority in regional drinks coverage, it is our duty to create such an extensive issue to showcase these beverages and producers, from large to small and everything in between.”
