Brouwer's just dropped a load of event dates on their web-site... Wednesday, January 21st @6pm- "Off the Wagon" art show with local artists Kevin "Sensei 23" Sullivan and Solace Wonder. I bet you can guess the theme of the show. We are hoping to have a one of a kind mini pint glass for sale at the event, as well as many pieces from these two artists. The art will be up till the end of February. Wednesday,January 28th- @6pm East vs West, Victory Brewing vsElysian Brewing, the breweries will battle for best in show in 5 different beer styles. We are hoping to have a DJ on hand as well. Friday, February 6th- @3pm Washington Hop Mob Triple Ipa kickoff party. Last year this event was on the Monday of President's weekend and we had a total of 16 Washington Triple Ipas on draft. This year it has been moved to an earlier date, and has grown from 16 to 30 plus. We will be starting at 3pm, we will offer 6oz and 12oz options. Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 --13th Annual Hardliver Barleywine Fest-- Get your livers ready. Saturday, March 28th- 10th Anniversary Celebration-- We will have a couple of Anniversary beers released this day as well as lots of special beers on draft from around the world. That gets us through till April, we have some Seattle Beer Week plans in the works, but expect that Back in Black Stout Fest will be Friday, May 8th and Sour Fest will be Thursday, May 14th.
The anniversary party is going to be killer. I'd expect a tap list that is going to be as stellar as, if not better than Big Wood. I know they were at New Belgium doing a special (sour) blend for the party. Reuben's is doing another. Looking forward to both. And of course, who wouldn't be looking forward to Sour Fest?
super stoked for big wood this weekend. taplist looks insane... propolis on draft? yes please. From the Facebook event page: With over 50 wood aged beers on draft this is one of the best festivals we run! From sour to stout we have beers from all over the world all be tapped for your enjoyment! The festival will run all weekend but certain beers will not, be sure to get there in time every day to try them all! TAPLIST IS HERE!

Yeah, one or the other please. I don't mind when a bar/brewery has size options, but this trend of the smaller pours at the higher price is bugging me. Been several times the last few months, when I see something limited/interesting on tap but the price is at a point I can't justify. I usually end up just grabbing a pint of one the usual suspects at the regular price.
