Tacoma Beer Week is now fully underway. Below, I share just a few of the events that caught my eye. There are many more events that are not mentioned below. You can see the complete list of events and learn more about Tacoma Beer Week here. See our previous story for insights into this year’s collaboration projects and all the happenings.
