Seattle’s famous Brouwer’s Cafe is feeling a bit festive and lonesome this year, and have decided to welcome beer nerds back to the pub for the annual Bigwood Festival after taking last year off. Bigwood is a classic Seattle event that celebrates barrel-aged beers and the pub always rolls out some amazing rarities and vintage beers for the occasion.

For the Bigwood fest Brouwer’s taps all styles of beer, from Stouts to Sours, as long as they’ve been aged on wood. But this year because of the pandemic they are keeping things a bit tighter than usual and instead of switching out every tap to a barrel-aged beer they will do 30 this year and calling the event “Little Bigwood.” There is still than enough for any woody vintage big beer fan to get down with, especially with this selection.

 

No reservations accepted, bring your mask and vax card.
