We recently reported that Emerald City Brewing would be opening soon in the old Rainier Brewery. That attracted everyone’s attention, to say the least. Not surprising when you consider Seattle’s proud brewing history. Today we report that the Museum of History and Industry has organized two tours that are of interest to beer enthusiasts and historian alike. The walking tours explore two of our city’s favorite pastimes: coffee and beer.
Saturday, July 3, 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
