I expected to enjoy many good holiday beers this Christmas season, but instead my beer drinking and merry making have been derailed by a gastrointestinal virus.  Luckily for me, I’ll have plenty of chance to make up for lost time in the new year what with three cool events coming up.

• Feast of The Five Firkins – The Whip restaurant hosts a five course feast with each course paired with a wonderful craft beer.  This is the third annual feast and I’ve heard each of the previous were wonderful.  The feast will be held January 10th and tickets are available from The Whip for $85 each.
• Belgianfest 2010 – The Washington Beer Commission presents the first ever Belgianfest, a craft beer event featuring Belgian style beers brewed by Washington craft brewers.  The event will be held Saturday, January 23rd at Georgetown Studios at The Engine Room in Seattle (close enough to Vancouver).  Tickets are $30.
• Beer Wars Screening – I don’t have many details on this one, but I’ve heard there will be a screening of Beer Wars at District319 in Vancouver on January 17th.

I hope your holidays have been better than mine thus far.

Cheers,

Chris
