The Sip Experience | Hosted by Sip Northwest Magazine

Tickets on sale now for The Sip Experience!
Uncover the pages of the spring issue on Thursday, May 17 6-9 p.m. at the Sanctuary Seattle.
Taste the pages of Sip Northwest magazine as they come to life for this one-of-a-kind libation event at a one-of-a-kind venue, the Sanctuary Seattle, a revitalized 100-year old church in the heart of downtown Seattle.
Sample from Seattle’s top restaurants serving delicious local cuisine and taste from more than 40 drink producers as featured in the new spring issue.
Sip Northwest has produced this fundraising bash to demonstrate how the readers can enjoy the content of the pages in real life. Think a how-to on a mimosa bar, a lesson and tasting on heritage cider and apples, a store to stock up on pro-recommended essentials for a home bar, sommelier-made wines, beers from Seattle’s hoppy Georgetown neighborhood, producers pouring sustainably made products and others splashing sips made to defend women’s rights — each uncovering the different sections of the magazine for guests to experience themselves.
Plus, Seattle’s favorite Papa Bueno Tequila will be shaking up cocktails in the Halo Bar upstairs, with live musical performances on the main floor by Saint Claire and Kate D.
And the best part? Proceeds from The Sip Experience benefit the Washington State Council of Firefighters.
Tickets are $45 in advance and can be purchased online, $60 at the door. Get your tickets HERE before they sell out!

The Fourth Annual Roots & Vines Festival
2018-05-19 15:30 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Yakima, WA, Yakima, WA
The fourth annual Roots & Vines Festival, presented by Solarity Credit Union, will return to historic North Front Street in Yakima, Washington, on Saturday, May 19. The event will run from 3:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., with music starting at 3:45 p.m. and finishing at 10 p.m.. Tickets are on sale through The Capitol Theatre Box Office (online and physical box office location) — get yours here!
This event is produced by the Downtown Association of Yakima, in conjunction with Chinook Fest. Roots & Vines Festival is a one day celebration of craft beverages produced in the Yakima Valley, and features nationally touring Americana, Folk & Bluegrass bands. The event started in 2015 and has grown to become one of the premier events in downtown Yakima, bringing festival goers from all over the region. The community comes out in full-force to dance in the street while enjoying their favorite local craft beverages and food from their favorite local eateries, and views this event as the unofficial kick-off to summer. The environment is fun and light-hearted, and the excitement that summer is just around the corner is evident in the air!
Per usual, the team at Chinook Fest takes great care in bringing notable acts from around the country to the Yakima Valley. This year is no exception. The lineup for Roots & Vines 2018 is as follows: Nikki Lane (Nashville, TN), The Last Revel (Minneapolis, MN), Hillstomp (Portland, OR), Jeff Crosby & the Refugees (Boise, ID) The Warren G. Hardings (Seattle, WA), and Carl Anderson (Nashville, TN). More information on each artist can be found at www.rootsandvinesfest.com.
To support Yakima-area craft beverage, this festival brings in cider, wine, beer and spirits from Yakima. For the full lineup of craft beverage producers, click here.
There are two ticket levels for this year’s festival, which differs from previous years. General Admission and Bring-Your-Own-Chair Reserved Seating. General Admission tickets are $15 online and $20 at the gate. Bring-Your-Own-Chair Reserved Seating tickets are $18 online and $23 at the gate. The new ticket level that allows patrons to bring their own chair into the event was created this year due to space limitations within the event space, and safety concerns during the event. There will be a limited number of these tickets sold, and without the purchase of this ticket level patrons will not be able to bring their own chair into the event, unlike in previous years. Tickets can be purchased online or at The Capitol Theatre Box Office.

Cheers to Belgian Beers Festival
2018-06-01 13:00 - 2018-06-02 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The North Warehouse, 723 N Tillamook St., Portland , OR, 97227, United States
The Cheers to Belgian Beers festival, which showcases around 75 Belgian-style beers brewed by Oregon craft brewers, has announced details for this year’s event. The 12th annual festival will take place June 1 and 2 at The North Warehouse at 723 N. Tillamook St. Hours are 1pm to 9pm on Friday and 12pm to 8pm on Saturday.Advance discount tickets are on sale now at GetMyPerks, which is offering two tasting glasses and 16 drink tickets for $28 (a $40 value), while supplies last. Drink packages at the door will cost $20 for a souvenir beer goblet and eight drink tickets (only one glass and eight tickets will be sold to any one person at any one time).The festival is donating $1 from every ticket package sold to House That Beer Built, a partnership between Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East and the local craft beer industry. This exciting new collaboration celebrates the strength and creativity of Oregon’s craft beer industry, along with its passion for community involvement. Participating breweries and businesses pledge to raise funds with the goal of collectively raising $75,000 to fully sponsor a home for a Portland family. Learn more about Habitat’s work at Habitatportlandmetro.org.What makes this festival stand out is the fact that every beer is potentially made using the same primary yeast strain: Precious. Precious is a classic Belgian yeast that features a very mild phenolic character balanced with moderate fruitiness. This year, brewers were also given the option to add a secondary aging strain, Suburban Brett, a brettanomyces yeast that shines when used in wood barrels, producing complex and balanced aromas of sour cherry and dried fruit.To ensure diversity among the beers submitted—as well as show off the creativity of Oregon’s craft brewers— the color and strength of each brewery’s beer is determined by a dart throw. Depending on where the dart lands on the board determines whether that brewery will brew a Belgian-style beer that is light or dark in color, with amber as the midpoint; and low or high in alcohol, with six percent being the midpoint. Breweries that hit a bullseye get a wild card and can select their own color and strength. The dart throw is held in January, giving the breweries plenty of time to determine their submission.Portland’s Cheers to Belgian Beers takes place inside The North Warehouse as well as outside in the tented parking lot. Food is available from Urban German Grill and Monk’s Deli; Brewed Oregon will be selling Oregon craft beer gear and apparel. Street parking is available, but limited. Attendees are encouraged to take public transportation — the TriMet Bus Line 35 stops one block away and the Yellow Max Line stops two blocks away — or ride their bike, with complimentary bike parking available.The festival is seeking volunteers, which receive a festival goblet, eight drink tickets, a t-shirt and free admission after their shift (an OLCC servers permit is not required to participate as a volunteer server at this event). To sign up, visit https://www.events-connect.com/ctbb/volunteer.

Cheers to Belgian Beers is produced by the Oregon Brewers Guild and sponsored by Boelter, Imperial Yeast, Country Malt Group, Great Western Malting, and the Portland Mercury The event is for ages 21 and over. Follow @OregonCraftBeer on social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, #ctbb18.
