No-Li Brewhouse history

No-Li Brewhouse is a family-owned, fully independent brewery and restaurant in Spokane, Washington, United States. It was co-founded by brewmaster Mark Irvin, who started the Northern Lights Brewery in Airway Heights, Washington, in 1993. Irvin had previously worked at Coeur d'Alene Brewing in Idaho and Hale's Ales in Seattle, Washington. In June 2002, Irvin moved Northern Lights to Spokane, opening a brewpub. Beer industry executive John Bryant, who had tasted Irvin's brews and had a long association with several beer brands, offered a partnership in November 2011.

Under Irvin and Bryant, Northern Lights officially rebranded as No-Li Brewhouse in April 2012. The new name was a result of licensing issues with another brewer, Starr Hill Brewery, which was using the "Northern Lights" name for an IPA. The No-Li Brewhouse logo, designed in collaboration with graphic artist Riley Cran, features three gondolas representing the Skyride over Spokane Falls, a recreational aerial lift installed for Expo '74 and still operated by Spokane today. The brewhouse even displays an original gondola from the ride.

No-Li Brewhouse is the oldest active brewery in Spokane and the largest brewpub in the city, located at the edge of the Spokane River near Gonzaga University. The company markets beers such as Born & Raised IPA and Big Juicy IPA. No-Li Brewhouse beverages are licensed for distribution in Washington and Idaho, and the company places a high importance on locally sourcing ingredients and using local labor to produce its beverages. In April 2013, No-Li Brewhouse received the federal designation of Spokane Style Beer, which differentiates beers made by Spokane area residents with ingredients drawn from a 300-mile (480 km) radius.

No-Li Brewhouse has won various international awards for its beers, including gold, silver, and bronze medals in North America, Japan, and Europe. The company produced 2,400 barrels of beer in 2012, 5,500 in 2013, and was expected to produce about 8,000 in 2014. In September 2014, country music singer Blake Shelton stopped by No-Li Brewhouse during a tour and enjoyed the beverages so much that he bought hundreds of dollars worth of beer to take with him.
