Saturday, August 15 Ÿ Downtown Everett
The Washington Beer Commission is proud to announce the more than 100 beer descriptions for the 4th Annual Everett Craft Beer Festival, this Saturday, August 15, from noon – 7pm in downtown Everett.
The event will feature 32 Washington Breweries pouring more than 100 seasonal brews and will also feature multiple “randall” infused beers that will add some unique flavors to these local brews. What is a randall you ask? It’s a filter connected between a keg and the tap. Breweries can fill the filter’s chambers with things like hops, chocolate, fruit, coffee, spices, and more, so that any given beer takes on the qualities of the infused ingredient.
Everett Craft Beer Festival tickets and complete event information are available now at washingtonbeer.com and are just $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Entry fee gets you a tasting cup and six tokens, each good for a 5 oz. taste. There will also be live music and delicious hot dogs available for purchase on site. Additional tasting tokens are just $2 each or three for five dollars.
The event will take place on Hoyt Avenue with the main entrance located at Hewitt Avenue.
