The 8th Annual Seattle Beer Week kicks off this Thursday, May 12, and it will stretch all the way through Sunday, May 22. As always, there are an insane amount of worthy events. I’ll suggest that you check out the website to peruse the full list of events. Most events you don’t need to think ahead; just show up and enjoy. But, if you have any desire to partake in one of the many beer dinners or beer & food-related events, you might want to get on that now. Some dinners will certainly sell out.

Make sure you get to try the Daily Pale from Reuben’s Brews, which is the official beer of the 2016 Seattle Beer Week. It has been available in six-packs of cans for a month or so now, and it will be available on draught starting Thursday.
