Washington Brewers Festival - List of Breweries & More
- by Kendall Jones, Washington Beer Blog -
Tickets are now on sale for the Washington Brewers Festival. We provide festival details below. Once again the Washington Beer Blog will be onsite all weekend, June 15 - 17, blogging and tweeting live from the event. Stop by our booth; we may have something fun in store for you.
The Washington Beer Commission just released the list of breweries participating at this year’s Washington Brewers Festival. Look forward to more than 200 different beers from 64 different Washington breweries. We list the participating breweries below.
As we reported a few months ago, this year the Washington Brewers Festival moves to a new location: Marymoor Park in Redmond. The new venue offers several advantages, such as ample parking and easier access, while still providing a luscious, tree-lined, park-like atmosphere. Compared to St. Edward State Park in Kenmore, the festival’s previous home, the location just off of the freeway, along two main arterial streets, will make getting in an out of the event seem like a breeze. The Burke-Gilman Trail provides easy access via foot or bicycle. What’s more, there are hotels within walking distance. Here are the event details:
