Seattle’s craft-beer scene is always alive and bubbling with activity, but during Beer Week that geeky enthusiasm gets kicked into high gear, with a stacked lineup of beer dinners, festivals, socials, pub crawls, and releases galore. This year, the festivities will include Cask-O-Rama (12 casks from Seattle breweries on the bar top) at Beveridge Place Pub, Women in Beer (an annual celebration of female brewers that benefits Planned Parenthood), a cheddar sandwich competition at Hellbent Brewing, a beer-can derby at the Pine Box, beer and doughnut pairings, and way more. by Julianne Bell
