Event Location: Pioneer Courthouse Square, 701 SW Sixth Ave
The only beer festival in the Northwest to be held outdoors in the dark, cold and often wet month of December, the Holiday Ale Festival is truly distinctive. Despite chilly temperatures and often-inclement weather outside, attendees stay warm and dry under a large clear topped tent that covers the venue. Gas heaters create a cozy ambience under the boughs of one of the region's largest decorated Christmas trees. Thirty six + potent winter ales are featured at the event, all of which are created specifically to bring warmth and cheer to the holiday season. The beers are rich, robust and full of complex flavors. They range from Imperial IPAs, Belgians and Barley Wines to Winter Warmers, Scotch Ales and Stouts. Many have been seasoned with spices, and enhanced with dry hopping or extended aging in barrels. Dates: December 3rd thru December 7th, 2008 Hours: Wednesday, 3–9 pm Thursday, 11 am–10:30 pmFriday, 11 am–10:30 pm
