Big Wood Festival is a beloved tradition for Seattle beer aficionados, especially those who crave big, barrel-aged brews. Each year Brouwer’s Cafe digs into its sizable cellar to unearth some great beers for the event. This year Big Wood takes place on Thursday, December 7th through Sunday, December 10th.
The beers range from sours to stouts and the only real criteria is the barrel-aging. And, of course, it’s got to be good. Below we share this year’s lineup.
For more information, keep an eye on the Brouwer’s Cafe Facebook page.
