The Beer Retard

I’ve been drinking a lot of great beer lately, but I’ve neglected this blog. I’m gonna get back on track, but maybe not until I get to the East Coast on Friday. I’ll be in DC and Philly for 8 days and will have reports on DC beer spots, Philly Beer Week and wherever else I end up (Baltimore, hopefully).

The last couple weeks have been pretty amazing for Seattle beer enthusiasts. Bottleworks had an insane 10th Anniversary celebration, Beveridge Place kicked off their Barleywine Bacchanal and Collins Pub had their Strong Beer Fest. Russian River’s Pliny the Younger has been tapped at Collins, Brouwer’s, Uber and Naked City. Russian River’s Consecration arrived in bottles at Bottleworks and will be tapped tonight at Naked City. Last night, Elysian and New Belgium unveiled their first official collaboration: a trippel IPA called The Trip.

While I’ve been at most of these events, I’ve completely sucked at documenting them. On the other hand, the Washington Beer Blog has been kicking ass, posting on every event and piece of local beer news. Geoff Kaiser’s also doing his part at Seattle Beer News. Finally…the Seattle Beer Collective are still hard at work on Seattle Beer Week. There are around 50 events planned already and they’ve told me they hope to have over 100 when all is said and done.
