All I can say is, sorry you didn't find what you were looking for but there is beer in the PNW other than IPA.

A few weeks ago I was at one of my yearly CE classes and the local group was re-starting up the local IPA group and my first thought was, I like ESB better.

lane912, not all wine in the PNW is pinot noir, in fact I grow no pinot noir grapes, my patch is nebbiolo, sangioviose, barbara, dolcetto, petite sarah, cab sav, cab franc and merlot. First harvest was this yr finally and even thou the frost got us in the spring and the birds destroyed us before harvest with a month of forest fire smoke slowing everything down and a killer frost to force the harvest, managed 13 gals, 5 neb, 5 sangio and 3 barb with some cab sav and franc thrown in for blend.

Being an optimist, in 5 yrs the harvest should be a ton of grapes which translates to 150 gal of wine which is about 62 cases of wine.
