For as long as I can remember, I’ve been stepping up to the window at Ivar’s on the Seattle waterfront to order clam chowder. I’m sure that many other people who grew up around Seattle can say the same thing. It was years before I realized there was a restaurant beyond the sidewalk café – Ivar’s Acres of Clams. It took me even longer to realize that the restaurant’s bar served good beer.

Ivar Haglund and the restaurants bearing his name are icons around Seattle. Ivar began serving Seattleites traditional Northwest seafood in 1938. There are other Ivar’s restaurants around town, but “Acres” is the original. In keeping with the spirit of the Northwest, the restaurant also takes pride in its tap list.

On Thursday, December 6, Ivar’s Acres of Clams hosts its annual winter beer event – Ivar’s Northwest Winter Beer Tasting. Details below. Not only does this event showcase some great beers, it also pairs the beers with some delicious food. The Executive Chef, Chris Garr, has devised some special pairings for the event, which will be served buffet-style. We list some of the food items below. In all, ten different northwest breweries will be represented: Diamond Knot Brewing, Georgetown Brewing, Maritime Pacific Brewing, Fremont Brewing, Ninakasi Brewing, and more.
