About Washington Beer Commission:
The Winter Beer Festival is a fund raiser
for the Washington Beer Commission, the first commission of its kind in the nation.
Washington Beer is recognized internationally as being the highest quality thanks
to the dynamic energy and creativity of the brewers and fresh ingredients available
in our state. Established in July 2007 the Commission represents all 90+ breweries
in Washington State and its mission is to ensure that more beer enjoyed in Washington
state is made by its own craft brewers, using ingredients from our state’s
agricultural industry.
