See all our posts about Seattle Beer Week 2014. Below, Seattle Beer Week event information.*
Last year, this was one of my favorite events of Seattle Beer Week. Not surprising, really. I love beer and I love bluegrass music. Mom’s a banjo picker, so I was raised on the stuff.
Banjos and beer have something in common: they tend to make people happy. Here is more information about the event directly from the organizers. This year’s event take’s place at Hale’s Paladium on Saturday, May 10. Note – they’re looking for volunteers. Anyone interested, shoot me a message.

What’s better than bluegrass music and beer? 12 local brewers collaborating with other brewers to make new, one-of-a-kind beers AND 4 bluegrass bands, that’s what better!
Erik and Rob’s 2nd Annual Bluegrass and Beer Festival will be held on May 10, 2014 in the Palladium at Hale’s Brewery from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm. All ticket sales will benefit Northwest Harvest to help fight hunger in Washington. Tickets can be purchased online through Brown Paper Tickets for $25 (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/627896).
This Seattle Beer Week event SOLD OUT last year, and our goal this year is to raise $5000 for Northwest Harvest. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door on a cash-only basis, so buy early to secure your place at the party!
This year’s event features more beer and more music, with sets by returning favorites The Tallboys and Spoonshine, and introducing the Porterbelly Stringband and the Warren G Hardings.
