Updated Wed, Jan 29. Just heard a rumor that anyone wearing Seahawks gear to BelgianFest will receive 12 tokens with their admission instead of the expected 10 tokens. Okay, not a rumor, just a fact. Wear your 12th man gear to BelgianFest! GO HAWKS!
Let’s face it, by Saturday we are all going to be climbing the walls, so escaping to BelgianFest will be a welcomed distraction.
Here it is, straight from the Washington Beer Commission.

2014 Belgianfest Beer List
7 Seas Brewing
Gig Harbor
1) Noonday Demon Dubbel Ale
Named in reference to the crucial monastic tribulation of monotony. The demon embodies the concept of cutting corners and avoiding meticulousness. Monks were encouraged to court the Noonday Demon rather than ignore it – believing such would strengthen their person. Within this complex beer we utilized Golden Promise, Special B, Kilned Amber, and a sprinkling of Chocolate malts to impart toasty sweet flavors topped with fruit. This demon was nobly hopped lending it a subtle earthy character. IBU 25/ABV 7%
2) 7 Seas Belgian Wit
Brewed with 30% malted White Wheat, this traditional Belgian style Wit is dry and refreshing with hints of clove, orange peel, subtle coriander and bready notes. Fermented with a combination of Belgian and American yeast strains and lightly spiced in the conditioning tank, this Wit showcases authenticity and refinement. IBU 14/ABV 5.1%

4) Corvus Kriekus
This could be considered our first truly soured fruit beer. We added season peak Washington sourced cherries in two varietals, Chelans and Titans, to barrel aging scotch ale. The cherries were intentionally field direct and added not only fermentables, cherry tannin and color to the beer but also provided the necessary micro-flora to sour the beer. We then blended various barrels to yield a balanced, quaffable, complex and fruity Black Raven first. ABV 9.6%
Boundary Bay Brewery
Bellingham
1) Not Shawn’s Saison
In the style of a traditional Belgian, Farmhouse Saison, “Not Shawn’s Saison” is a balanced, dry, crisp, and memorable beer. At 6% ABV, it is a truly sessionable ale, and is the third release in the Galbraith Mountain Series. It is brite as crystal and a mellow, golden-orange color and is never filtered. We gave this brew a little extra time and cellar-love to allow for the lemon, bubblegum, and melon aromas and superbly balanced, continental malt characters to fully develop. Styrian Golding noble hops harmonize incredibly well with the biscuit and grain flavors from pilsner malt. With a slight tang and just a touch of spicy rye malt and lemony citrus notes from New Zealand Pacific Gem Hops, this beer is complex, smooth, and refreshing – and leaves you wanting another! Let it warm a little in the glass to release even more of Not Shawn’s special aromas and flavors. You’d never know you aren’t in Brussels… “Sante!” ABV 6%

An interesting pairing, this beer isn’t a burner it’s surprisingly refreshing and drinkable. The broad pungent flavor of the peppers ally beautifully with the delicate white pear and clove flavors present in the Tripel 7. After being aged in a barrel for nine months, a soft but endlessly deep, vanilla element has emerged without changing the strengths of the original beer. Very limited release. IBU 10/ABV 9%
2) Explore the Hopvoodoo Belgian Style IPA
Fermented with Abbey II yeast this BIPA combines many qualities to create a pleasing encounter. Bullion hops add a luminous orange quality federating with flavor notes of smoke and dry fruits.

Very light in body but heavy in strength of alcohol, Scuttlebutt’s Tripel 7 is an honest model of deception in the finest Belgian tradition. Delicate clove and white pear flavors are evident when the beer is young. If able to try one with a year or two of age complex apricot flavors prevail.
IBU 10/ABV 9%

Over time, Le Fat has softened and mellowed while gaining refinement and character through extended aging in Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet barrels.

Sound Brewery
Poulsbo
1) Bombshell-Belgian Style Blonde Ale
Made with belgian malts, trappist yeast and a new German Hop, this authentic Belgian style “Blonde” ale bears a family resemblance to our Tripel Entendre, in an lighter, more refreshing ale.

IBU 26/ABV 7.3%
2) Tripel Entendre Belgian Style Tripel
Complexity and balance from a simple recipe of the finest ingredients obtainable. Clear and light in color, this strong Belgian ale drinks smooth and easy but has the complexity to complement the finest meals or to savor alone at the end of the evening. ABV 9.9%
