The PNW is IPA country. Still. We do have a few notable German Breweries. Most notable among the notables, I think, is Chuckanut in Bellingham. I like all the Chuckanut beers I’ve tried, and it’s always the one I choose if it’s on tap and I’m drinking beer.

So I’m excited about the Seattle Beer Week event that’s happening at Shultzy’s Sausage in the U-District. Chuckanut’s Will Kemper, Kevin Davey, and Bryan Cardwell will be there to talk about the beers, five of which will be paired with five different Shultzy’s sausages.

The beers are: the Dunkel Lager, Vienna Lager, Pilsner, Alt, and Kolsch.

This starts at 7pm on Friday, May 20.
