Tomorrow (Wednesday, February 22) marks the kickoff of Tacoma Drinks Washington Beer Week. Details below. The event runs through February 29th.

Today: Big Time Brewery Introduces “Whiny the Complainer”

big_time_brewery

Here is a press release from Big Time Brewery about today’s big release event. If the introduction of this beer is anything like the release of Pliny the Younger, then there is probably a line outside the Big Time’s front door as I write this.
