Hop Scotch for Grown-ups


I will be heading to Seattle in about 10 days, unfortunately it will be too late for what sounds like an event to check out. The Hop Scotch Spring Beer & Scotch Festival looks like a great way to help you forget about the rainiest month of the year.

The Hop Scotch festival is a beer, wine, tequila and scotch festival held April 1st and 2nd at Fremont Studios in Seattle. It is not only a fun chance to taste over 80 spirits, but it’s also a benefit for the Seattle International Film Festival. Admission is quite reasonable for the event, which runs from 5:00 pm to midnight on Friday and from 1:00 pm to midnight on Saturday.

General Admission--$25 in advance or $30 at door
Includes commemorative glass and five tasting tokens for beer or wine.

Grand Admission-$30 in advance or $35 at door
Includes commemorative glass and ten tasting tokens for beer or wine.

You must be 21 to attend this event and there will also be hour long scotch seminars – which include tastings -- with Master of Whisky Breck Taylor.  Four seminars will be on specific scotch brands at a cost of $30 each.  An assortment of food will also be available.
