Founded in Kalama. I went to the Seattle brewery years before they opened the one in Berkeley. Local my ass. It's like buying an Accord and saying you're buying American. . . you are. . . to a point.
Even then, aside from their DPA, Pyramid is mediocre. American style hef is an atrocity anyway: German style (unfiltered) is the freakin' shiz. . .
Drink Anchor, 21A, Bear Republic, or Lagunitas if you're going to "drink local." Or, if you're down in the South Bay, try El Toro.

woah.... you all are taking your knowledge of beer seriously... I like it
A good Hef is Hacker Pschorr. A little challenging to find out here but Bev Mo typically has it.
Two of the best semi mass produced micro breweries in my opinion are the Kona Brewing Company and the New Glarus Brewery.

Anchor is awful. I can barely stand it. Subpar beer at best.

(read: there's a reason you don't like it, and it's endemic to the style) Their porter and Christmas ales are bonkers, but I love 'em.
Next time Hacker Pschorr is on tap at Teske's, the first two liters are on me. Yes, that's the kind of Hef I'm talking about, although Schneider Weisse is my favorite.
Kona is alright. Their draft-only stuff is quite good.
I'm overdue for a trip to the WA cask ale festival again. . .

I have a Dog Fish Head 120 sitting in the fridge right now; it probably will for another 8 years.
