And if you’re one of the many people who looks forward to this one each year, the basics are all you need to know. For now, at least. Most important, tickets go on sale Thursday, October 22nd. If you want VIP tickets, you probably should act fast.
Saturday, December 19
Normal Access, General Admission: 5-8 pm
Early Access: 4-5pm
Location: Victory Hall at The Boxyard, across from T-Mobile Park in Seattle
The event is presented by the Washington Brewers Guild. They put it this way: “Sip your way through a beer wonderland! Washington’s best breweries pouring winter warmers, spiced seasonals, barrel-aged beauties, some crispy lagers, and a few “how-did-they-even-make-this?” surprises. This festival will have all the fa-la-las, merry greetings, and warm happy feelings that you’ve come to expect from our annual Winter Beer Fest!”
