Seattle Beer Week Events: The Beer Junction

Every week is beer week at The Beer Junction, but for the official Seattle Beer Week, The Beer Junction has some great events planned. Click here to see all of our posts about Seattle Beer Week 2013.

Thursday 5/9 (5-8PM)
Ice Cream Social with Anderson Valley
Brewmaster Fal Allen will be at The Beer Junction with two one-off drafts (their Hoppy Session Pale Ale and one more TBA)! They will also have the Summer Solstice Cream Ale going through the randall with fresh cut strawberries, vanilla beans, and cocoa nibs (they’re calling it “Neopolitan Solstice”). Ice cream pairings with West Seattle’s famed Husky Deli ice cream!

Sunday 5/12 (Noon-2PM)
Trappist Brunch
Alejandro Garcia from specialty beer importer Merchant Du Vin will be at The Beer Junction to guide you through the history of Trappist beers! They’ll be pouring, from bottles, beers from six of the world’s eight Trappist breweries: Rochefort, Westmalle, La Trappe, Chimay, Orval, and the recently “Trappist certified” Stift Engelszell from Austria. They’ll also be pairing the beers with various cheeses and showcasing the various types of Trappist glassware.

Tuesday 5/14 (4-6:30PM)
Sierra Nevada Hops Education Class
Put down those books, pick up a beer, and learn all about hops with Sierra Nevada Brewmaster, Steve Dressler! The Beer Junction will have four hoppy beers on tap (Hoptimum Whole Cone Imperial IPA, Southern Hemisphere Fresh Hop IPA, Torpedo Extra IPA, and their classic Pale Ale). Not only will Steve be talking about the finer points of hops, but he’s bringing in several different varieties of hops so it will be interactive too!
