On Saturday, February 29th over 100 of Washington’s breweries will open their doors to the public. From Washougal to Bellingham, from Spokane to Bremerton, from Kennewick to Tenino, and all points in between. You might be wondering how that is peculiar compared to any other Saturday in Washington. There is a difference. All of these breweries are participating in Washington Beer Open House, a statewide celebration of beer and brewing.
Some of the participating breweries are not normally open to the public, some will feature special tasting events. Others will offer behind-the-scenes tours and opportunities to meet-n-greet the brewers themselves. And there’s more! Each brewery devises its own Open House program.
10th Annual Washington Beer Open House
Saturday, February 29, Noon – 5:00 P.M.
Participating breweries listed below.
Here’s the official announcement from the Washington Beer Commission, which organizes the annual event.
Washington Beer Open House will allow you to take a look behind the scenes at some of Washington’s most innovative breweries, talk to the brewers themselves, discover new breweries, try unique craft beer creations, and meet some new craft beer-loving friends.
Participating breweries will have a wide range of things going on during the five-hour open house including rare barrel tastings, new seasonal beers, finger food, full brewery tours, brewer conversation, unique beer samples, growler sales, live music, and other activities. Happenings will vary at each brewery.
Visit washingtonbeer.com for a map, details, and other useful information. Plan your trip to visit a couple of neighboring breweries throughout the day, or spend the afternoon at just one of your local favorites. Please remember to enjoy the day responsibly.
