Skagit Beer Week and the Farm to Pint Fest

 

It’s one of the most prolific agricultural regions west of the Cascade Mountains. The Skagit Valley is home to all sorts of great farms, but also a lot of great breweries. A few years ago, someone got the brilliant idea to start malting barley in the Skagit Valley, much of it locally grown. Today Skagit Valley Malting produces some of the best malted barley around. The stuff is coveted by brewers. It all sounds kind of magical.

Skagit Beer Week is a celebration of all of it: fresh beer, fresh food, and locally malted grain. The week kicks off with a big festival, the Farm to Pint Fest, and concludes with another festival, the Skagit Valley Malting Showcase. All sorts of events in between.

Skagit Farm to Pint Fest on Saturday, March 31st serves as the official kick-off party for Skagit Beer Week. The festival is the first-ever gathering of all 11 Skagit breweries for an event like this. Each brewery will be paired with a Skagit Valley restaurant and/or farmer with the goal of highlighting local Skagit Valley ingredients. Entertainment will be provided by three Skagit-grown bands. Advanced tickets ONLY.
