Seattle Beer Week, an extravagant excuse to drink lots of good beer, is kicking off on Thursday, May 9. From May 9 to May 19, various Ballard and Fremont joints will be hosting beer events, and your favorite neighborhood breweries will also be available all around town.
We compiled a handy list of local neighborhood events for you to check out, but, as you can imagine, we most likely missed some things as there is quite a bit happening. For more info and more events, visit http://www.seattlebeerweek.com/
