Thank you for your interest in pouring at the Winter Beer Fest! We are so lucky to have such an incredible community of WA breweries. Thank you for the support, time, and care each of you contribute to make this fest a success. It's going to be so much fun!
Please read through all the following information before registering.
Registration Process
To reserve your spot, there is a $100 booth fee for guild members and $145 booth fee for non-guild members. (Not a member? You should be! Talk to Shawna and she'll set you up 😉) Once registered, we will send payment information.
Beer
We'll send a link to register your beers as the event gets closer. We will pay wholesale pricing for kegs. Donations are always welcome, but not required. If your brewery can donate beer, we would be beyond grateful and will waive the booth fee :)
We're asking each brewery to bring at least two styles of beer. As in year's past, we're hoping for highly festive beers: beers that are extra special and make hearts full and bellies warm (winter/seasonal or darker styles of beers). More than two styles are okay, but your jockey box and beer must fit within your pouring space (6' table). We strive to never run out of beer, so please be sure you have enough beer for the two sessions. We will send the expected attendance numbers as the event draws nearer. Breweries need to provide their own pouring equipment (jockey box, CO2, spill buckets, etc.). Cold storage, booth tables, pipe and drape, and ice will be provided.
Brewery staff
We'll send you a link to register your staff as the event gets closer. We request each participating brewery provide their own staff to pour your beer. Up to two pourers from each brewery will be allowed during each session. A Brewers Lunch will be provided before the Saturday session.
