Seattle International Beerfest

This is your chance to try all those beers you've been eyeing but didn't want to commit to buying. More than 100 beers from some 15 countries are on tap for the weekend festival from Franziskaner hefe-weisse to Peroni. Sample size is 4 oz., which means you can try a whole lot of beer, some of which is among the most expensive in the world, for a very good price. If you're hankering for a full pint of Pilsner-Urquell, head to the Grande Beer Garden. And if you need some food to sop up some of the alcohol, Hot Dog Joe provides dogs, sausages, burgers, brisket and so on. Live music all weekend, too. Bring cash – no credit cards are accepted, but there's an ATM on-site.
