– Uber Tavern is getting in on the Pliny the Younger madness, and then some. Last night, they tapped a cask of the 2009 Full Sail Bourbon Barrel Black Gold Imperial Stout, which is surely gone. They also tapped a keg of Russian River Consecration, which is still flowing. Tonight, they will be tapping kegs of Pliny the Younger and Pliny the Elder. Get some when they open at 4pm. On tap of that, they’ll be tapping kegs of Russian River Supplication and Lost Abey Angel’s Share sometime this weekend. Jebus, my liver hurts.

– Naked City Taphouse will have a cask of the Big Al Soulicious Barrle-aged Sour on their bar top when they open at 4pm tonight. I’ve heard good things about this one and I’d love to try it. Someone will have to have my share and let me know how it is.

– If you still haven’t bought your tickets for the upcoming Washington Cask Festival, you’d best get on that ASAP. As of yesterday, they had less than 150 tickets remaining for the 1st session and they very well may be gone within a week. This one is not to be missed.

– Check out this week’s issue of the Seattle Weekly for a piece I did in their Spring seasonal “Beer Pages”. I’ll be contributing for the other 3 seasonal sections coming later this year as well. I just realized yesterday that it was odd that the person usually writing about beer for the Weekly, Maggie Savarino, didn’t do this story. Sounds like she is no longer writing for the Weekly, and I hope she’s moving on to bigger and better things. I really enjoyed reading her craft beer coverage, and she truly is an advocate for good beer.
