Coffee Beer Week returns for the first time in 3 years
Back in 2016, Georgetown Brewing scored a GABF gold medal for its coffee beer: Gusta Crema Coffee Cream Ale. In fact, that same beer scored its second medal at this year’s GABF. It really is a sublime coffee beer. Maybe the best I’ve ever had.
Gusta Crema Coffee Cream Ale is just one of the many coffee beers that you’ll find at this year’s Coffee Beer Week celebration, which kicks off this Friday, November 25th at The Beer Junction in West Seattle. Contrary to popular belief, not all coffee beers are dark beers, as the list below shows.
So go ahead. Don’t be afraid. Take a drive across that newly reopened, big, beautiful West Seattle Bridge and enjoy some coffee beers at The Beer Junction.
Below is the opening lineup for Coffee Beer Week 2022. You’ll find these nine beers on tap when The Beer Junction opens at 11:00 on Friday. You can always keep an eye on The Beer Junction’s live tap list here.
