Hop Scotch Spring Beer & Scotch Festival is the premier beer, Scotch, wine and spirit tasting experience benefiting Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF). On April 1 and 2, Fremont Studios transforms into a swanky beverage tasting lounge featuring over 80 libations to swirl, sniff and sip
The unique festival allows guests to exchange lingo one-on-one with beverage experts as they discover their sense of taste and channel their inner Mad Men-inspired style during the two-day event.
General Admission to Hop Scotch is $30 ($25 in advance) and includes tokens to sample beer and wine, from some of the first microbrews of season to Small Lot Co-op’s spring-release wine from boutique Washington wineries. Guests can also purchase full bottles of Heineken beer and lounge in the Heineken Green Room.
For those stoked about spirits, Scotch or tequila samplers may be purchased. “The spirit sampler allows guests to experience another craft malt beverage,” says Phil Megenhardt, Event Producer. The Spirit Samplers include a self-guided flight of ¼ oz. tastes of select Scotch or tequila. In both experiences experts will be on hand to answer questions.
For guests looking for more in depth knowledge of Scotch, hour-long seminars are led by the “Master of Whisky” to take participants through the complete range of taste experiences, which includes samples of single malts, blends and vatted whiskies to sniff and sip for only $30.
