Stour Fest is back! Yes, you read it right – Stour – a powerhouse combination of our 2 beer week festivals, Back in Black Stout Fest and Sour Fest. It was well received last year and lots of fun, so we’re running it again. Stour Fest will kick off at 12pm on Saturday May 18th, during Seattle Beer Week May 17th – 24th.
As part of our sour lineup, we will also be hosting the Tilquin Fruit Extravaganza. Tilquin is a Belgian lambic beer blendery based in Brussels. We are one of 10 locations in the United States, and the only bar on the West Coast, to host this special event showcasing the wide variety of fruited sours they produce. Think tart and fruity with hints of oak and a dry, crisp finish, delish!
Here’s what to expect. We are taking inventory and rummaging through the cellar now and plan to put 40+ beers on draft—we’re shooting for 20 sours and 20 stouts. With 4-6 very unique Tilquin beers, which will be sold as a flight and individually. We will of course publish the complete tap list before the event!
So please join us on Saturday, May 18th to celebrate local craft beer and the beer community, as well as international beer, all during Seattle Beer Week 15. Cheers!!
