Your weekly roundup

Catching up with more news from the week in local craft beer:

• No-Li is no stranger to taking home medals from beer competitions. And now it's starting to win business awards, too.

Spokane's largest brewery won the Entrepreneurial Spirit trophy at Wednesday's annual AGORA Awards, presented by the Greater Spokane Incorporated business development organization. That recognizes "innovation, creativity, perseverance and leadership when launching or growing a business or idea."

The new award follows the silver medal No-Li took in April for Food Processor of the Year in Seattle Business magazine's Washington Manufacturing Awards.
