Tickets now on sale for Washington Winter Beer Festival



Winter Beer Fest returns to Seattle on December 3rd and 4th.

The annual Washington Winter Beer Festival is one of Seattle’s most popular beer events. The festival brings great beer and holiday cheer together under one roof to benefit the Washington Brewers Guild. As it has in years gone by, the event takes place at Magnuson Park’s Hangar 30.

Above: Winter Beer Fest 2016 (Won’t be so crowded in 2021).

Friday features one session, in the evening, while Saturday offers an afternoon session as well as an evening session. Admission will be limited to just 800 festivalgoers per session. (Other health and safety guidelines are outlined below.) This event sells out each year, so do not delay! Get tickets now.

Each session features 26 Washington breweries, each pouring at least one seasonal treat along with other beers. Also, a selection of food trucks will offer the non-beer essentials. Santa will make an appearance at each session and ugly sweaters, costumes, and holiday garb are encouraged but not required. In all, a festive atmosphere to kick off the holiday season.

Saturday, December 4th: Noon-4pm – First Session
Saturday, December 4th: 5:30pm-9:30pm – Second Session
