Hops and Props 2007
If you live in the Seattle area (or you even may want to fly in for this) mark your calendar for this year’s Hops and Props held at the Museum of Flight.
The date: February 10 at 7:00 pm
This is an international event with fifty craft breweries from eight states and five countries pouring samples. And if you opt-in for a VIP ticket you also get a private tasting of specialty brews. From last year’s reports this is a great beer tasting event.
In addition to the beer samples your admission includes live music by Seattle band BD & the Rockits, food selections (by McCormick and Schmick’s), a commemorative tasting glass, an educational tasting guide and access to the Museum’s galleries.
If you can plan ahead general admission tickets will cost you $50 but the price goes up to $60 after January 15th. Tickets can be purchased at the Museum of Flight gift shop or online.
This is indeed an excellent event. The only problem I found was the fact that it runs so short.
Food is excellent, beers are from the standard Bold Hat lineup with a few interesting additions. The crowd is great, largely skewed toward the aviation buffs instead of beer geeks. The best part, however, is wandering the museum with a beer in hand.
