Washington Brewers Festival a Huge Success! Thanks for Coming!
The 2010 Washington Brewers Festival was a resounding sucess for the Washington Beer Commission and craft beer lovers everywhere.
The wet weekend weather certainly did nothing to dampen the spirits of thirsty attendees! Nearly 2,000 folks came out on a sunny Friday evening to enjoy some exclusive Washington brews and jam to Flowmotion on the music stage. More than 5,500 showed up on an overcast Saturday and lines were long for the Black Raven and Northern Lights taps most of the day. The "Buzz Cart" was a big hit as well. On Sunday we all got a bit wet but nearly 4,500 were on hand to celebrate Father's Day and watch "Cowboy Ross" of Iron Horse Brewery win the Keg Toss Championship.
All-in-all a fantastic weekend. Many thanks to the volunteers who helped make this great beer tasting event happen for the fifth year at St. Edward State Park.
So many great craft beers, such a short weekend...See you next year!
