If you don’t have the time to travel across the state or the Northwest and into Montana looking for unique, craft brewery beers, Matt Armstrong is providing a local destination — Dark Moon Craft Beer at 420 N. Pearl St. in downtown Ellensburg.

Armstrong received a certificate through the craft brewing program at Central Washington University. His father, Jim, is the executive director of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce. His mom, Liahna, is a Central Washington University professor but she also started a wine shop in town so he has a family and business support system.
