Checking out former Seattlester and all-around beer expert Geoff Kaiser's new home on the web, Seattle Beer News, we came across an interesting factoid: Today is the first day of the Collins Pub's Fifth Annual REAL Strong Beer Festival. What's "real" strong beer? According to Geoff, one triple IPA weighs in at 11 percent ABV. There's a variety of other short-run and vintage beers on tap from Northwest craft-brewers. Should be awesome. The fest runs today through March 1 down at 526 Second Ave., at the base of the Smith Tower.

Faithful readers of these e-pages may remember one Geoff Kaiser, who covered the beer refreshment beat--that's his name on a sidebar in the newly diminished (three-section) Seattle P-I this morning: his review of Alaskan Smoked Porter makes us thirsty for campfires. "You can find it for about $5.99 per 22-ounce bottle, and it would pair perfectly with smoked cheeses and smoked salmon. Bottleworks in Wallingford often sells older vintages of this beer for a few dollars more." To stay posted on beer doings, get your RSS on over at Geoff's P-I blog, What's on Tap.
