South Sound IPA Festival Beer List!
October 18, 2014 Union Station, Tacoma WA
The Washington Beer Commission will host its inaugural South Sound IPA Festival on Saturday, October 18, with two sessions at downtown Tacoma’s Union Station. This will be the first craft beer tasting festival for the Washington Beer Commission in the City of Destiny. The Commission currently produces five other beer festivals around the state as a means for funding the marketing, education and public relations efforts of the Washington Beer Commission and its more than 230+ member breweries.
The South Sound IPA Festival will turn Union Station into a haven of hops, featuring some of the best India Pale Ales (IPA’s) to be found anywhere, along with fresh hop beers, and many other “hop forward” creations. In all, there will be at least 48 delicious craft beers, most measuring quite high on the International Bitterness Units (IBU’s) scale.
The event will take place on Saturday, October 18, with a noon – 4pm session, followed by a second 5:30pm – 9:30pm session. A separate ticket is required for each session. Admission is $25 in advance and $30 at the door and includes a commemorative tasting cup along with eight, 4 oz. sample tastes. Additional tastes will be available for purchase at $2.00 each. Tickets are on sale now! Complete ticket and event information is available at washingtonbeer.com. This is a 21 and over only event.
