Anniversary Preview: WA: Beer Junction turns 1 & celebrates with three days of tastings 7/7 – 7/9

image borrowed from Beer Junction's website Anniversaries can often be summed up as the recognition of an accomplishment sustained over a certain amount of time. While this term is often associated with a married couple it can apply to special events not associated with a wedding.

Since July 3rd, 2010 Beer Junction in the West Seattle neighborhood has provided people an excuse to park off California Avenue to get their hands on a respected local or regional brew. Having visited this location we can that we expect great things from this tightly packed bottleshop.

From their well organized selection of beers, arranged according to style. To their individually available-for purchase bottles and cans of beer, Beer Junction has made a niche for themselves.

So what better way to recognize a year of achievement then hosting of all things a tasting. Or in this case three tastings, starting Thursday.

Thursday (5-8PM): We'll be sampling a selection of five of our best selling beers of all time. The tasting lineup: Maui Coconut Porter, Oscar Blues Dales Pale Ale, Duchesse De Bourgogne Flemish red ale, Firestone Walker Double Jack Double IPA, and for desert Southern Tier's Choklat Imperial Stout paired with vanilla ice cream from Husky Deli!

Friday (5-7PM): 21st Amendment returns! We'll be sampling their new Hop Crisis Imperial IPA (which is almost too easy to drink at 9.7% ABV), Brew Free or Die IPA, Back in Black IPA, Watermelon Wheat, and another one of our best selling beers, the Belgian-style Monk's Blood!

Saturday (5-7PM): Ninkasi Brewing will be here with all their new seasonals! We'll be tasting our #4 selling beer of all-time (in $$$ sales), Maiden The Shade IPA! In addition we'll be trying the new Nuptiale Cream Ale, Summer Radiant Pale Ale, Total Domination IPA, and Oatis Oatmeal Stout!
