You are warned: Tickets to this one go fast. Friday night of this year's annual Fathers Day weekend Washington Brewers Festival features a 21 and over ONLY party with Washington breweries only. Many breweries will bring special kegs specifically for this night. Saturday and Sunday will sport 200 beers in the line up covering a staggering array of styles, and as always, these days are family friendly with plenty of stuff to do with the kids. Food vendors are available on site, and there will also be a small cider and wine tasting area. (Really? I get the cider, but can't wine just stay home for once?) Get your tickets online through Brown Paper Tickets, or at participating retail outlets.

Some of the beers I'm looking forward to drinking: Rock Bottom Bellevue's Black Cherry Saison, Lazy Boy's Friday mystery beer (and don't miss their new Imperial Red, which debuted as our "Voracious Ale" during the Hopscotch festival!), Diamond Knot's daily mystery casks, Big Al's special dad's day brew, Big E's Summer Creamsicle, Boundary Bay's 3B, and Chuckanut's Vienna lager (which I'll down any day of the week). I also get as excited as any kid about the root beer garden, full of small batch root beers from many of the participating brewers.

*Note: Due to the recent maintenance work at Saint Edward State Park this year’s Festival is moving into a different area of the Park and, as a result, on-site parking is very limited. There is a $15 on-site parking fee per vehicle on Saturday and Sunday (free on-site parking on Friday). Advance purchase required. On-site parking passes are available online here. Proceeds from on-site parking will benefit Saint Edward State Park. Only a limited number of parking spaces available each day and advance parking pass purchase is required. Additional on-site parking spaces will be available the day of the Festival only after the vehicles with pre-purchased parking passes leave and release their parking spaces.

The Festival strongly encourages you to take public transportations or park in one of the designated off-site parking lots and take FREE shuttle bus to the Park. Find out more here.
