Jeff, Meg and I hit the Hops on Equinox Spring Beer Festival today at Seattle Center — I was looking forward to it, and it definitely measured up. For our entry fee, we got 6 beer coupons (they give you a mini-mug for your samples), and then each of us bought another 5 coupons for the tidy $5 sum. All in all, it was a yummy day.
Some of our favorites:
* Boundary Bay Brewery – India Pale Ale
* Georgetown Brewing Co. – Manny’s Pale Ale (got served by one of the co-owners, Roger)
* Iron Horse Brewery – Locomotive Red Ale (located in Ellensburg, WA)
* Stone Brewing Company – Arrogant Bastard Ale
* Young’s Brewery – Special London Ale
Nice post – simple set up but exceeded my expectations as well. Thinking about becoming a beer show junkie so am looking around for the next one. Did you host that video file at your same globat place? Easy to do?
Two sites to check out for upcoming beer tasting:
1) www.beeradvocate.com – supposedly has good list
2) www.bottleworks.com – has weekly tastings from 6-9pm on Saturdays for $1
And, yeah, I just put that video file on Globat and it is simply a link (just like linking to a photo, etc) — easy weazy
