Seattle’s Venerable Latona Pub Celebrates 25 Years with a Series of Special Beers
Note: At the bottom of this post I have added some photos from the March 19th brewers night party with Black Raven.
This year marks the 25th anniversary for the Latona Pub (blog sponsor). In the coming weeks I will tell you more about the Latona Pub’s place in Seattle beer history. One of Seattle’s first truly great beer-focused pubs, the Latona Pub is celebrating its silver anniversary with a series of special beers produced exclusively for the pub. These Latona-only brews debut on select Monday nights from January through August. A week-long celebration takes place August 13th – 18th, more precisely marking the pub’s actual birthday. The complete schedule is below.
The first beer in the series, introduced in January, was produced by Mount Vernon’s North Sound Brewing. February’s beer was a special creation from John Maier of Rogue Brewing.
Other breweries contributing to the ongoing celebration include Black Raven Brewing, Sound Brewery, Anacortes Brewing, Schooner Exact Brewing, Naked City Brewing and Double Mountain Brewing.
Here is the complete schedule of upcoming release events at the Latona Pub:
