Luckily for folks in Snohomish County, Seattle Beer Week is a bit of a misnomer.
Sure, Seattle will be home to most of the events during the celebration, which runs from May 13 to 22 (another misnomer is that it’s just a week long), but bars and restaurants in Snohomish County and a number of breweries in the county will be involved in the festivities.
After hastily throwing together the first Seattle Beer Week last year, organizers are back at it this year and are promising more events and more beer. Check out some of this year’s best bets.
Here’s a rundown of the local events and breweries involved:
North-end kickoff: 5 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse, 1114 First St., Snohomish; 360-568-5820.
Join the crew at Fred’s as they ring in the start of 2010’s Seattle Beer Week by tapping one of the only Seattle Beer Week-inspired Hale’s Double IPA kegs in Snohomish County. The keg will be tapped at 5 p.m. and will be poured until it is gone.
