Beer

At the Washington Cask Beer Festival the brewers stay true to the traditional brewing and dispensing method of “cask-conditioned beer” while experimenting with their creativity to come up with the most innovative, distinctive beer.

2010 beer lineup coming soon, see the 2009 beer lineup here.

See a list of local establishments who regularly serve cask-conditioned beer here.

Herbert’s Herbert’s Legendary Cask Festival Ale is a special beer that is brewed by a group of Washington brewers in memory of Bert Grant, a Northwest beer icon. The recipe has been passed on from one host brewery to the next over the years and the beer has been one of the major highlights of every Cask Festival. Herbert’s will be available at select pubs and at the Cask Festival.
