American Brewing Company is proud to announce that it will be celebrating its two-year anniversary by hosting an open house (21 and older) Saturday, March 2 from 1 pm – 11 pm at their brewery, located at 180 W. Dayton St., Warehouse 102 in Edmonds, WA. The tasting room will feature live music by local artists Steve Stefanowicz, a rock and blues acoustic performer from 2 pm – 5pm, and Third Train Running, an acoustic blues and folk band from 7 pm – 9 pm. BBQ will be served from 5-7 pm.
Along with their flagship beers-American Blonde, Breakaway IPA and Caboose Oatmeal Stout-American Brewing Company will proudly present their newest release, “Flying Monkey Dogfight Pale Ale”. “We were presented with a very unique opportunity this year”, says owner, Neil Fallon. “The Emerald City Comicon organizers approached us about brewing an official beer for this year’s convention.” Brewers Skip Madsen and Dan Payson set about creating a perfectly balanced pale ale that has a great citrusy nose. Though hop-forward it finishes dry and will be an excellent session beer at just 5.7% ABV (Alcohol by Volume). “The team at Comicon put all of their creative talent behind the marketing designs,” continues Fallon, “we’ll have limited edition glass growlers, t-shirts, and aluminum growlers for sale at our Anniversary Celebration”. For more information about the Flying Monkey Dogfight Pale Ale, please visit their blog site.
In conjunction with this celebration, they are incorporating a fundraising event for the Edmonds Food Bank. Bring a donation of canned goods and receive raffle tickets for a chance to win American Brewing Company swag, while helping to fill the shelves of the local food bank. “We are currently feeding 1,800 to 2,000 people eachweek,” says Peggy Kennedy, Director of the Edmonds Food Bank. According to Ms. Kennedy they are providing for approximately 370 families who shop for about a three day supply at each visit. They are in constant need of replenishing their store so any and all donations are gladly accepted.
