WITH MODERN FLAVOR
“Wherever you go in the country and say you’re from Tumwater or Olympia, people will inevitably say, ‘Like the Beer, right?’. We still have brand equity around beer. How do we leverage that?” said John Doan, City of Tumwater City Manager, when reflecting on their involvement in the Craft District.
