The Beers of Cask Fest. Also, Herbert’s Release Party is Tonight

The Washington Cask Beer Festival is a week from Saturday. Below we share the list of beers. Once again, it sounds like Washington’s brewers have come up with some deliciously creative concoctions for Cask Fest.

Online tickets are sold out but that does not necessarily mean you are out of luck. At the very bottom of this post I share the list of retail outlets selling tickets. If you want to go, there is no time to dawdle. Get on it now. Make some calls and see who still has tickets for sale.

The official release party for this year’s Herbert’s Legendary Cask Fest Ale is tonight at Brouwer’s Cafe. For you newbies, Herbert’s is a beer brewed exclusively for Cask Fest each year. The beer is a tribute to legendary craft beer pioneer Bert Grant who moved to Yakima in 1981 to open the nation’s first post-prohibition brewpub. To honor his legacy, each year the Washington Brewers Guild brews up a new version of Herbert’s. In the past, it has typically been a collaborative effort with multiple breweries providing ingredients and manpower at one select brewery. This year we understand it is quite a stylistic departure compared to years past. Instead of making a huge, over-the-hop IPA, Diamond Knot Brewing chose to brew a Dark English Mild.

So which beers on this list pique your interest?
