Seattle Beer Week at your Neighborhood Pubs May13-23, 2010



Spring has made its calendar appearance but outside it feels very much like a wintry day. Weather or not the second Beer Week takes place May 13th-May 23rd. There are so many exciting events in places all over town. The Beer Week Beer was made at Hales this year and it is a Double IPA that is fantastic. It will be released in pubs and alehouses around town on the 13th.



At your neighborhood pub we will be celebrating craft beers with our local and out of town friends. We are very excited to Begin the week at the Hopvine with Port Townsend on Saturday at 7pm. Carter has become one of the very talented Northwest brewers. We will showcase a cask of his Hopdiggity along with some other special ales on tap. Thanks to Kim and Guy who have nurtured a fantastic business. On Sunday the 16th we are fortunate to have Black Raven Brewing at the Hopvine. After only one year Beaux and the awesome folks in Redmond have made a name for the themselves by creating beers that have become legendary already.

Find your way to the Latona for a celebration of Sierra Nevada on Monday the 17th. It will be our traditional Brewer Appreciation Night and there is no brewery deserving more respect and acclaim than our Friends from Chico. We will be serving some amazing beer and we are excited about the night. Stop on by.

At the Fid we will be showcasing New Belgium on Tuesday the 18th for some fantastic beer along with chocolate and cheese and bread and a variety of craft beers. That will be followed up by a barbecue on Wednesday the 19th at 12pm sponsored by Left Hand, Ninkasi, and Lazyboy.

That evening you are invited to the Unknown Brewery Tour. We talked to four brewers from the hinterlands that rarely have their beer out of their small town. But for Beer Week they agreed to showcase their beer in Seattle... only if we picked up the kegs. So off we go to the far reaches of the State to find unusual and wonderful craft beer. Try it at 7pm.

Finally, we are back at the Latona for a traditional cask on the bar night on May 20th at 7pm. This will be our fourth or fifth of these cask-a- things and they are always crazy. You are however guaranteed a fun time.

There it is, some fun nights for you at your neighborhood pubs.

See you during Beer Week

Cheers
