Press Release

Seattle, WA - During the darkest time of year...comes a celebration with the darkest of beers. Flying Lion Brewing invites you to share in their love of dark beers at the 7th Annual Dark Beer Fest, taking place at the brewery, Thursday, December 17th through Sunday, December 20th.  

Normally, this event fills their taproom with beer lovers and flight boards abound, but this year will look a bit different in order to uphold all Covid-19 safety measures and maintain appropriate capacity levels - they’ve also added an extra day to space out attendance. During each day of the event, a small portion of their tables will be available on a first come, first served basis and another portion of tables can be reserved for 2-3 hour time sessions.  Each table reservation will cost $50 per session and will secure a table for up to 5 people (all ages) (just $10 per person).  Your reservation also includes (5) vouchers - each one good for one 4-beer (20oz.) tasting flight OR a full pour of anything on draft (redeemable day of reservation only). 

Starting Dec. 3rd, reservations can be made online: https://shop.flyinglionbrewing.com/

NEW THIS YEAR! - They will be canning a special dark beer collaboration brewed up with friends at Counterbalance Brewing.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! - Brownrigg Hard Cider is crafting up another dark cider exclusively for this event!

Dark Beer Fest started at Flying Lion Brewing in 2014 and has grown from their modest 6-beer list to a full 30+ beer, multi-day event complete with cellared favorites, special releases, and plenty of limited availability brews. We're talking all dark beer, all weekend, with styles changing each day. If you haven't been, you're missing out. They plot and plan all year long so mark your calendars - they think the only reason you should travel in December is if you're going there!
