Right on the heels of a weekend of crazy barleywine drinking comes another extravaganza of beer: The 9th Annual Washington Cask Beer Festival. Before we even get into it, we heard last night that the early session sold out and, after checking online, the late session seems to be sold out, as well. Your best bet is to try calling these select ticket outlets to see if they have any left; some of them......

Are you feeling lazy this winter in Seattle? It's been raining and dark (well, not so much this week), and maybe you just haven't felt like doing much or going anywhere. Well, it's time you got off your ass to do something about it; like go to a beer festival. If you've never been out to Port Townsend, this weekend is a great time to make the trip. Water Street Brewing will be hosting......

This Seattlest had some family visiting this weekend and felt it was his duty to show them some of his favorite beer spots in town, even if they could probably care less. There were quite a few beers of note that were on tap and should still be around. We also found a few bottles of Lost Abbey Judgement Day at Esquin Wine this weekend. We didn't realize the Seattle market was getting this......

This upcoming Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the annual Phinney Neighborhood Association Winter Beer Taste. 26 different breweries will be there to pour some of their outstanding Winter beers to get us ready for the upcoming season. Admission includes 10 samples and are $27 for the public in advance, and tickets at the door are $30. We've been told that this event usually sells out in advance, so it sounds like a good......

You thought your beer was safe left in the back seat of your car? Think again. We got this email from our friend today: So yesterday I was driving home from Vancouver. Per Geoff's recommendation, I stopped at Bounday Bay's taphouse for a few beers. When I left I bought a growler of IPA. I was happy. When I got home, I parked outside and forgot to bring in my bookbag (worthless) and my......

Feel like doing a little Oktoberfest drinking this weekend, Washington style? The Washington Beer Commission is holding their 1st annual Oktoberfest at St. Edwards State Park on Lake Washington in Kenmore. There are going to be some great local brewers there, but don't expect to find any of the big German brewers. There will of course be the requisite oompah music and German food from local vendors (doesn't get much more German than that!).......

If you are looking for a road trip this weekend, you should think about checking out Bellingham on Saturday. April Brews Day is a benefit being held at Depot Market Square in Bellingham. They will have at least 11 confirmed breweries attending to sling their tasty beers. Featured Breweries: Diamond Knot: This brewery from Mukilteo always has brews worth checking out. Their IPAs are definitely worth trying, especially if they happen to have their XXX......
