Oh my god it’s still Seattle Beer Week.

This will be my last post on the matter and much as I love SBW, can’t say I’m entirely displeased we’re wrapping up here.

These are the picks for March 27 through 29.

EVENTS ON FRIDAY, MAY 27

BALLARD
Great opportunity for Belgian beer geeks: Brouwer’s Cafe is hosting reps from five Trappist Breweries: Chimay, La Trappe, Orval, Westmalle, and Rochefort. Try the beers and talk to them.

Maritime Pacific is tapping six firkins on its bar. These firkins will be filled with the following: Tropicale Island, The Bends, coconut-rum infused Bosun’s Porter, Jolly Gator Old Ale, Dry Hopped Imperial, and Dry Hopped Jane’s Bitter. They will be there from 4 to 11:45pm, but you should get there early for two reasons: 1. the beer may run out. 2. happy hour ends at 6pm. Sliders on brioche buns!

WEDGEWOOD
It’s Night of the Living Nanos at Fiddler’s Inn. (A nanobrewery is a very small brewery). Brewers from Foggy Noggin Brewing in Bothell and Seattle’s Emerald City Beer and Epic Ales will be hanging around the bar from 7 to 11pm. Fiddler’s has five of their beers on tap. I called but the guy I spoke with couldn’t remember which beers they were and the kegs weren’t labeled. I’m having a similar kind of day.

EVENTS ON SATURDAY, MAY 28

GREENLAKE
The Duck Island Ale House is doing a cider and cheese pairing event that sounds promising (where there is cheese, there is joy). That’s from 6 to 11pm.

SOUTH LAKE UNION
Brave Horse Tavern is hosting Ninkasi for a beer brunch that begins at 11am. There’s live music and a special menu—I have a call in about that menu, check back for details.

EVENTS ON SUNDAY, MAY 29

BALLARD
Old Town Alehouse is tapping a keg of Pliny the Elder. It will be tapped at noon, so get there before then. Pliny!

GREENWOOD
The Yard Cafe (from the Dray people) is having its grand opening party on the final day of SBW. That’s all-day long and there will be tacos.
