You’ll be hard pressed to sample all 150 beers being poured at the ninth annual Inland Northwest Craft Beer Festival, a celebration of Washington’s ever-growing craft brewing industry. A total of 40 breweries from the Spokane area and beyond are bringing a lineup of both seasonal and anytime brews for your tasting pleasure. Admission includes a commemorative tasting glass and six 5 oz. tasting tokens; after you run out, get more for $2 each or three for $5. While the fest’s Friday night run is only open to beer lovers of legal drinking age, Saturday’s hours are open to all ages (admission is free to anyone under 21) and includes a kids’ play area. The fest includes live music both days, along with local food trucks on site when you get hungry. Get a sneak peek at the full tap list online.
