Seattle Beer Week Events

Sunday 22nd, 12-3PM
The Instrument vs. The Ornithoid
w/ Firestone Walker


David Walker, owner/founder of Firestone Walker Brewing company will be here to debut the latest batch of Parabola. We will be selling bottles to go as well as pouring Parabola, 14, and Black Xantus. Our keg of Parabola went pretty quick last year and we expect a similar turnout. This event will run on a ticket system. Purchase tickets as you come in to be exchanged for beers at the bar. Any unused tickets will be refunded. We will not take cash or run a tab at the bar due to the high demand. There will be two types of tickets; one color gets you Firestone Walker beer, the other gets you Hair of the Dog beer. Tickets for each event will only be sold at the start of each event. For those planning to stay for both events, please pace yourselves so we don't have to. There's plenty of beer to go around, it's not a race and almost everything will be strong. Let's all have a good time and keep things in check.


Sunday 22nd, 4PM
Hair of the Dog Crashes Bottleworks

Alan Sprints, owner and brewer at Hair of the Dog will be here to pour a beer or two of his. One will be a very special, limited blend of lambic from Belgian brewery Bockor with his own beer. The party ends when the keg does. This event will run on a ticket system. Purchase tickets as you come in to be exchanged for beers at the bar. Any unused tickets will be refunded.

New Belgium Sensory Evaluation Class


Join New Belgium Brewing Company's own Jamie Mastin for an afternoon of beer education. He will start with an overview of the off flavors/aromas commonly found in beer. Then each attendee will learn how to identify off-flavors and what causes them. You will never experience beer the same way again! Following will be a discussion about wild yeast strains. We will taste examples of New Belgium Brewing's own beers that are made with wild yeasts as well other examples such as Cantillon and Cascade. Take home a free New Belgium globe glass as well. The class is only open to 16 lucky individuals and is first-come, first-served. Sign up by stopping by the shop with your $5 entrance fee.
