Turning apples into cider
Brownrigg Hard Cider opens new facility in Interbay last fall

After launching a new career as a professional cider maker and cidery owner over four years ago, single dad and West Seattle resident Chris Brownrigg is now growing his operations by moving to Interbay.
Brownrigg opened Brownrigg Hard Cider, his cidery and taproom, after moving from SODO, in the early fall, and he hopes the move will carry him to even greater heights as a cider maker.

The space is ideal, Brownrigg said because not only is it easy to find and has on-site parking, situated in a building complex at 945 Elliott Ave. W., it also houses a distillery, Skybound Spirits, and a restaurant, The Champagne Diner. The space used to be a cidery, so it came with “all the bells and whistles,” Brownrigg said. At 1,900 square feet, approximately 1,000 dedicated to the taproom, the space is 700 square feet bigger than his previous location in SODO.
“So this is a lot bigger and a lot nicer space than we’re used to,” he said.
In SODO, he was situated in a warehouse, south of the stadiums. After the leaseholder rented out another area of the warehouse to a wet dog-food producer, Brownrigg began looking for a bigger, less aromatic location.
“{The neighborhood} would just go through waves of sketchiness, but it was a good place to get started,” he said.
Not only does his new location have more room, it is on the way to Ballard, which has a number of cideries.
Brownrigg’s foray into owning his own business and making cider for a living is something he only considered doing after tiring of a career in communications working for Boeing.
He said he became discontent with his career, where he was always on call and which he found less and less rewarding, and began considering a new direction altogether.
After moving to property in West Seattle that had a small orchard, Brownrigg began as a backyard hobbyist, making ciders and wines before contemplating opening his own cider after a trip to England. At the recommendation of another cider maker, he took classes from an master cider maker before he opened Brownrigg Hard Cider in SODO, launching is new career.
“It probably has to be chalked up to a little bit of a mid-life crisis,” Brownrigg said, adding the career change was both exciting and scary, but it felt right.
Brownrigg is proud of his operations and the quality ingredients he uses for his ciders. All of the apples are grown in Washington state, some coming from his own orchard. The purees he uses to make the cider are culinary level, more commonly used in high-end desserts, he said. All the fermenting is done on site, and the syrups are made in house.
Brownrigg said his ciders are different from others because he develops recipes using his

to use tropical ingredients like pineapple or pink guava, in some of his ciders.
“I always want to have a taste of the land, but I really do love tropical flavors, as well,” he said.
While he is content re-establishing his business at his new locations, eventually, Brownrigg would like to expand further.
culinary background, working his way up in restaurants as a young man.
“I think every cider that is worthwhile is distinctive,” he said. “I think the cider maker should have their own distinct point of view and perspective.”
Brownrigg offers 12 ciders on draft, with a new recipe added every week. He said he enjoys coming up with different flavor pairings featuring fruit and spices that appeal to his customers, such as his popular cherry cardamom cider that always sells out. He also likes
“I would really like to have another taproom in another under-served cider neighborhood,” Brownrigg said, adding it would ideally have a little bit of outdoor space for tables. “The top of Queen Anne Hill would be awesome.”
Brownrigg Hard Cider hours are regularly Wednesday through Friday plus weekends, but because January is a slow month, Brownrigg Hard Cider will be closed on Wednesdays until mid-February, Brownrigg said.

How does COVID-19 affect our pets?
It turns out a lot of kids around the world have been wondering about the answer to this very question— after all, you don’t hear the name “Dr. Universe” every day.
Believe it or not, I wasn’t entirely sure about the origin of my name. But my friends at the Washington State University Libraries had the answer in their historical archives. Yes, the local library is a great place to visit when you have a big question.
As I read through the archives, I learned that I wouldn’t have my name if it weren’t for two people who worked at the university.
One of these people was Tim Steury, who at the time was writer and editor of WSU’s research magazine, “Universe.” The other person was Bob Smith who served as dean of the WSU Graduate School. While most people call me Dr. Universe, my first name is Wendy, and my middle name is Sue. With the last name Universe, that makes my initials W.S.U. You couldn’t ask for a better set of initials, really.
You know, our names are an important part of our identity. Identity means the qualities, beliefs, personality and expressions that make up a person or a group of people. Maybe you even have a nickname that’s part of your identity. Sometimes my friends call me Dr. U for short.
While I was thinking about your question, it also reminded
me how scientists often name things, too. For instance, when they discover a new planet, species or element — or come up with a new theory — they have to think of something to call it. In biology, one of the terms for the system of names we use to describe something is called nomenclature.
origin of your first and last name.
“Nomen” in Latin means “name.” The binominal, or two term, naming system is what biologists around the world use to describe different animals, insects, bacteria and other living things. The naming system requires both a species name and the genus name. For example, I am a feline, or Felis catus. Some animals have a species name and genus that are the same. For instance, Pica pica is the magpie, a kind
sunfish. Bison bison is, well, a bison. There’s even a name for these types of names: tautonyms. You are a Homo sapiens, or human. Individual humans have a variety of different names. They come in all kinds of different languages. All right, here’s a question for you: How did you get your name? Perhaps you can do an investigation of your own. Ask your family about the
Find out if it comes with an interesting story, holds a special meaning, was passed down from someone else or maybe even has a connection to the past. Ask about the stories behind their names, too. When you ask a good question, you never know what you might discover.
Sincerely, Dr. Universe

So, a new year begins
January feels more longawaited than other months because it is.
In December I just feel — anxious. Christmas, for a lot of us, means family, friends, food, everything right about the season.
But now that we launch into it a week before Thanksgiving, are they enough to sustain all of it?

As the month passes, it becomes more of a mood, an emotional one. And by New Year’s, I’ve pretty much run the span of my emotional reserve.

Not only that, twice in December I woke in the middle of the night after having the same dream where I am standing at the edge of a canyon, and with my hands pressed against my ears I yell, “Stop!” at the top of my lungs.
Now, when my husband thrashes from a dream, I immediately wake. But he doesn’t, typically, when I have one, but this time he does. “You were crying,” I hear him whisper.

I laid there in sort of an altered state — roughly three-quarters me, or maybe only a half — until the dream let up. How could it be that I didn’t hear myself cry?
“Everything all right?” he said. “Or did you read ‘Time’ in bed again?” Which made me smile. I rolled over. I felt his body move to accommodate my turning over. I reached for my robe and walked into the living room.
I thought more about tears, how our eyes are actually cleansing themselves of irritants. I sighed, not wanting to sound ridiculous, even to myself, but still, you’d think crying might want to seek a higher feat and flush out some of this fear.
I’m telling you this because, yes, I do read “Time Magazine” in bed. As a gift to my psyche, I cancelled the cable. And because I work at my laptop, I don’t want to read my news online. Any other place is better at the end of my day. Anything to get up and stretch and walk around and take in the world that is not on a screen. The 2022-me still reads as many books as she can but only one fact-checked news source of serious journalism a week, balanced by Saturday Night Live, especially the opening scenes. Anymore is deliberately succumbing to another nosedive, and I don’t want to spend that much time being down anymore. And on this night I’d read an in-depth piece about Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower (I prefer integrity-keeper) who is the kind of articulate woman who compels you to listen. Which I did. I listened closely, her findings stressing truths within truths within truths. It was the first piece of writing on the whole Facebook mess — because it is a mess and should be one, and (hopefully) a crackdown on big tech and their sneaky, manipulative practices, yes, a muddied, complicated mess — that cleared up questions I didn’t have answers for yet.
Haugen studied what was happening during our last election and in countries like Ethiopia and India, about “engagement-based ranking” — commonly known as the algorithm — that chooses which posts to rank at the top of a user’s feed. But it was Haugen’s argument about human nature that really drew me in, that this system of ranking is doomed to exaggerate the worst in us. She
warns us (without prophesying, which is really hard to do) that one of the most dangerous things about engagement-based ranking is that it is much easier to inspire someone to hate than it is to inspire compassion and empathy. “And given that the internet tends to amplify the most extreme content, we are going to see more and more people who, for example, think it’s okay, even right, to hate and be violent. And that destabilizes societies.”
It was like reading my worst fears all over the page. I felt as though I could not breathe. This is not whistle-blowing; it’s turning noisy data into something cohesive to understand. If anything, it reflects ourselves back at ourselves, exposes how easy it is to con us, how culpable we are, how crazy it is to trust these new Mad Men in hoodies.
The other dream — and this is a relief — had more to do with how many times since Thanksgiving I found myself scarfing down another piece of pumpkin pie because once I learned how to make one, I just couldn’t STOP! Why, I wondered, had I convinced myself baking was so hard? Pumpkin. Milk. Sugar. Eggs. Easy. And, oh, compared to writing, do I ever mean easy.
Anyway, my sister, who is an R.N., swears that tears do cleanse us emotionally. And she is very opinionated, my sister, nothing at all like me, so when she said she absolutely knows this to be true, I knew enough not to object. I offered only a smile. But we know each other so well, it’s as if she could tell it was a doubtful smile. But I’ve started to like the idea that this cleansing in sleep (and, admittedly, in waking hours when necessary) will help offset the fear I have of becoming re-addicted to sweets, and just how right Haugen is.
