| | Grant's brewpub leaves legacy to drink to |
 | | If Bert Grant were alive today, he might grab hold of the claymore, the giant Scottish sword that he kept as a warning to would-be smokers in his Yakima brewpub, and take out in pursuit of those who let that landmark establishment fail. |
 | | The closing of an eatery in Yakima might not seem like a particularly newsworthy item, and the awarding of the term "landmark" to such an establishment might seem to be a bit of embellishment. |
 | | Grant's was the forerunner not just of the brewpub movement, but also the microbrew, specialty and craft beer industry, a rebellion against bland, liquid-air, mass-market brews. |
