Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-5) toured No-Li Brewhouse in Spokane, Wa. on Friday, July 31. The visit was arranged with the assistance of Jim Koch of Boston Beer Co.

The Congresswoman enjoyed a No-Li taster tray and toured No-Li’s pub and brewery. During the tour they discussed the Spokane craft brewing industry, now with 38 breweries. The area had only three breweries just three years ago.

As is the case with most small breweries, No-Li contributes to the local economy in many ways. They provide living wage jobs that help boost the local economy. No-Li has also created a community development program to raise money for a different charity each month. They recently raised $2,000 for CASA (Court Advocate Special Advocate for Children).
