washington cask beer festivalAs most Cask Fest fans have come to expect over the years anything goes when it comes to the beer lineup. There will be over 100 cask-conditioned beers to choose from ranging from classic ESB, English Mild and Bitter to highly experimental and brilliantly unique brews. To pay homage to the traditional English method all beers are required to be naturally conditioned without artificially introducing CO2, and poured via a hand pump or by gravity.

Cask Festival is an important fundraiser for the Washington Brewers Guild, a lobbying arm of the Washington brewing industry that represents a growing number of breweries that call Washington State home. The event is particularly important as the Guild prepares for the upcoming legislative session. In addition to being a fundraiser the event also supports the organization’s mission to strengthen the community of Washington brewers and facilitate brewer education by providing an avenue to collaborate and polish their craft in the form of cask-conditioned beer.

BEER

Washington Cask Beer Festival is a major highlight of the Pacific Northwest beer festival scene. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to sample over 100 mostly exclusive or limited release cask-conditioned beers from 40+ Washington breweries. To stay true to the tradition of cask-conditioned beer the Festival requires brewers to naturally condition the beer in a firkin or other vessels without artificially introducing CO2. All beers will be poured by gravity or via a beer engine and the result is smooth ale with a thick creamy head that brings out subtle, nuanced flavors.

Also featured at the event is the Herbert’s Legendary Cask Festival Ale, a special cask beer brewed collectively by the Washington brewers in honor of Bert Grant, a legendary Washington beer icon.

BENEFICIARY

Washington Brewers Guild is a non-profit organization whose mission is to build a community of Washington State brewers, advance their common interests through the legislative process and promote the quality and value of their beers.
