Cooper’s 8th Annual IPA Fest: Seattle, Washington

11:30AM-11:30PM @ Cooper’s International Ale House

First, let me rave about the wings at this establishment- so good. With a variety of sauces, chipotle maple, hot buffalo, garlic…you cant go wrong. What better way to complement your wings than with an IPA? I know, exactly my point. Over 50 IPAs will be poured during the fest which runs for the entire month of April. The first week featured only Washington state brewers, so they are onto nationwide breweries. Call ahead if you are looking for something specific.

Seriously Slacking on Sunday (not much on the docket)



My suggestions:

Go to Beveridge Place Pub to try out there IPApril, which features a plethora of IPAs on tap all month.

If that doesn’t tickle your fancy – throw something on the BBQ and crack open some special beers.

If you know of something to do on Sunday or any other day for that matter, please leave a comment or email us at beerblotter@gmail.com! Cheers!
