It’s no secret that Seattle
has become quite the beer focused city. The number of breweries located within Seattle city limits has
exploded to a staggering 43 (according to a list
put together by the Washington Beer Commission) and many of
those have appeared just within the past few years. As more and more people
“think local”, they look to local breweries for variations of their favorite
microbrews and shun the big name beers found on supermarket shelves. Well, Seattle
Magazine’s BREW Seattle
on October 10th, 2014
brings local to the masses. This 2nd annual event presented by BevMo (@BevMo) showcases Seattle beer and only Seattle beer. The event is the largest
tasting that honors Seattle
beer history and only breweries that brew within the city are invited. There
are even a few cideries thrown into the mix since, as we know, the term
“gluten-free” is quite popular in our fine city. Included in your ticket price
is delicious tastes from over 20 local breweries and unlimited BBQ (yes, I said
unlimited and BBQ in the same sentence. Commence happy dance!) provided by
Pinky’s Kitchen (@pinkyskitchen). No picked over finger foods here folks. This event provides
beer AND tons of BBQ in one happy package. Where else can you get that? This
year’s event is also being held at the new Fremont Foundry (@fremontfoundry),
a beautiful new venue that I know I’ve been eager to check out. Tickets are
just $40 and can be purchased here. Want
to follow details about the event on the Twitter? Check out hashtag
#BREWSeattle for the latest news and info.
But WAIT, there’s more! Everyone knows free is the best
price, so Sips & The City is giving away a pair of tickets to this
beer-tastic event! Feeling lucky? Just leave a comment to this post and tell me
what your favorite Seattle
brewery is. Easy as that. Make sure to leave your email address so I can
contact you with details on how to claim your prize if you win! A random drawing from all comments received will be
done Thursday October 2nd. Good luck!
