On Wednesday, May 25th Elysian Brewing Company hosted the Firkin-Firkin Throwdown. The event matched up cask-conditioned beers from Colorado and Washington. The drinking public voted for their favorite beer and the state that they think won the overall competition. In my opinion, this has become one of Seattle Beer Week’s most-anticipated events. It did not…
Last night the Naked City Brewery and Taphouse dedicated all 24 taps to the west side of Puget Sound as 12 breweries participated in the first-ever West Sound Brewers Night. Naked City deserves the lion’s share of credit for organizing and hosting the event, but we understand that the Silver City boys (Don Spencer and…
Yesterday the Beveridge Place Pub (blog sponsor) hosted the Iron Brewer Triple Header, an event challenging six local breweries to put their skills to the test. Personally, this was one of the most anticipated events of Seattle Beer Week. Not just because Iron Brewer is such a great concept, but because of the players involved….

Below I list Seattle Beer Week events devoted to Washington beer. Seattle Beer Week is a celebration of our local beer culture. It is not, as I have heard some embattled individuals in the local beer industry assert, an excuse for out-of-state breweries and their distributors to get a toehold in, or further assert their…
Seattle Beer Week (May 19th – 29th) offers no shortage of impressive beer events, some more exclusive than others. You might be inclined to play it day by day, from event to event, but there are some activities requiring a bit more forethought. We recommend that you decide which of these events you want to…
I am here at the Hale’s Palladium where Seattle Beer Week 2010 is coming to a close. This event, dubbed “Last Call” marks the official closing of Seattle Beer Week. It has been 10 action-packed days with every imaginable kind of beer event crowding the calendar, and today’s crowd seems to be a bit less…
As of 2:45 p.m., here is the tap list at Big Time. Favorites thus far include the Lil General, the Hop de Mensonge, and the cask Perspective. Brewer Bill advises that there are limited supplies of some beers. Expect the list to change as the day moves along. Happy Beer Week!
