Just about a year ago we visited a new beer-focused restaurant and bar in Belltown: Bell + Whete (pronounced bell and wheat). If you’re not yet familiar with Bell + Whete, which features over 60 local and international draft beer options, check out our original post.
Today we want to let you know that Bell + Whete is launching a beer club: The Stein Society. Instead of just offering its regulars a personalized mug and a modest discount, they’re treating this more like an actual club, creating a way for local beer fans, connoisseurs and novices to get together to talk beer, share a mug, learn more about local and international beers, try new varieties, discover old favorites and explore beer trends.
The Stein Society launches next Wednesday, July 22. There doing something cool with mug number 001. They’ll auction it off, with proceeds benefiting a cause that is near and dear to the Washington Beer Blog: KEXP 90.3 FM. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to KEXP. More specifically, the construction of the new KEXP facility at Seattle Center.
Details are provided below and online at http://www.bellandwhete.com/stein-society. Also below, details about the first Stein Society event.
Bell + Whete is located at the corner of 2nd Ave and Bell Street in Seattle.
