Anyone in Ballard -- heck, anyone who has heard of Ballard -- knows that we've had an invasion of breweries lately. What does that mean for us? It means that we can hit all of them up in one day. Duh. After all, they're all in semi-walking distance.

Luckily, Thrillist is helping promote our neighborhood by crafting a list for your very own Ballard brewery crawl. It features all of the latest and greatest, as well as the old powerhouse mainstays. Check out their article here.

Here's what they have on their list, in order (though, to be honest, geographically it kind of bounces around):

• Hale's Ales (4301 Leary Way NW)
• Jolly Roger Taproom (1111 NW Ballard Way)
• Hilliard's Beer (1550 NW 49th St)
• Reuben's Brews(1406 NW 53rd St #1A)
