Winter Solstice, here we come! Flying Lion Brewing invites you to share in our love of dark beer at the 12th Annual Dark Beer Fest.
This year, we're bringing back the popular Barrel-Only Wednesday with a curated, and hyper-limited list of Barrel-Aged and Fermented beers on Wednesday 12/17. The main event (and total-dark-beer-takeover) will be Thursday, December 18th through Sunday, December 21st, 10am-midnight each day.
Our biggest and most awaited event of the year, this festival fills our taproom with beer lovers and flight boards aplenty! So many tiny glasses... No tickets or reservations are required; all seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Dark Beer Fest started at Flying Lion Brewing in 2014 and has grown from a modest 6-beer list to a full 40+ beer, multi-day event complete with cellared favorites, special releases, multi-year verticals, 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. Our production team plots and plans all year long, so mark your calendars - the only reason you should travel this December is if you're coming to DBF! To start your appetite, here are some of this year’s highlights:
10AM EARLY OPEN + DONUTS! - Now an annual tradition (because who doesn’t love donuts and dark beer), the taproom opens at 10AM each day with FREE donuts (while supplies last) for the early risers! Many of the beers are limited and may only last one day, so come early and get that special dark beer you've been waiting for!
BEER FROM OUR FRIENDS! - In the weeks leading up to Dark Beer Fest, we’ll be featuring kegs of dark beer from our friends in and around Seattle. Keep your eyes on our tap list so you don’t miss a single beer!
