The South Sound IPA Festival will turn Union Station into a haven of hops, featuring some of the best India Pale Ales (IPA’s) to be found anywhere, along with fresh hop beers, and many other “hop forward” creations. In all, there will be at least 48 delicious craft beers, most measuring quite high on the International Bitterness Units (IBU’s) scale.

Admission is $25 in advance and $30 at the door (if available) and includes a commemorative tasting cup along with eight, 4 oz. sample tastes. Additional tastes will be available for purchase at $2.00 each. Tickets are on sale now! Complete ticket and event information is available at washingtonbeer.com.
