Your weekly roundup

Some odds and ends from the past week in local craft beer:

– A Kickstarter campaign has launched for finishing touches to the Steel Barrel Taproom at the downtown brewery incubator, which will house Young Buck and Little Spokane (who made their public debuts Friday).

The project, which is aiming for an early May opening in the Luminaria Building at 154 S. Madison, also will include a ceviche bar by local celebrity chef Chad White . Its 30 taps will pour a variety of in-house and other local beers, along with wine, creative cocktails, cold-brew coffee and kombucha.

– Collaboration pairings keep popping up for next month’s Spokane Craft Beer Week , including an orange chocolate porter by Waddell’s and the Steam Plant as well as unspecified offerings from Bellwether/Mad Bomber, Badass/Black Label (using Palouse Pint malt) and Quartzite/Northern, plus a community cream ale (with individual variations) involving several downtown breweries including the incubator. In all, 14 collabs are planned, twice as many as last year; keep an eye out for more details on this year’s events soon.

– Everybody’s Brewing in the Columbia Gorge has tapped the collaboration gose it brewed with Iron Goat. Look for that later at the Goat’s new downtown taproom , expected to open sometime next week, and at the Washington Beer Collaboration Festival in Seattle on April 22-23.

– Paradise Creek’s popular Huckleberry Pucker Shandy , a blend of its tart, fruity Berliner Weisse with lemonade, has returned for spring and summer.

– Laughing Dog is adding a pair of heavy hitters, the Alpha Dog and Sneaky Pete imperial IPAs, to its canned lineup.
