The Washington Brewers Guild happily presents its annual Winter Beer Fest on December 19th and 20th in Seattle. Two sessions, with separate tickets for each: Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. For each session, there is an early-entry option. Don your gay apparel and come prepared for a joyous atmosphere, complete with decorated beer booths.
More than a beer fest, it’s a celebration of the season. At the Winter Beer Fest, beer lovers can expect a vast selection of delicious seasonal creations from dozens of Washington breweries, along with a few cideries, served up in a festive atmosphere. Your ticket includes 25 tasters (35 with an early entry ticket), which should be enough. More are available for purchase at the event; just drink responsibly.
For the second year, Washington Winter Beer Fest takes place at Seattle’s Victory Hall, which is located right across the street from T-Mobile Park in the building that was home to Pyramid Brewing for many years. This year, according to event organizers, a new layout will provide more elbow room.
- Bigger, bolder, and merrier than ever, with a new, more spacious layout.
- Friday, December 19; 6:30-9:30pm; Early Access: 5:30pm-6:30pm
- Saturday, December 20; 1:30pm-4:30pm; Early Access: 12:30pm-1:30pm
- Location: Victory Hall at The Boxyard.

“Think of it as your holiday survival kit: dozens of Washington’s best craft brewers pouring exclusive winter warmers, spiced seasonals, barrel-aged beauties, and a few “how-did-they-even-make-this?” surprises,” says the Brewers Guile. “This long-running festival is full of all the charm and fun the holiday season brings. Expect Santa, an epic booth decoration contest, killer DJ sets by KEXP’s Kevin Sur, and enough festive vibes to keep you glowing.”
