House parties

Breweries across the state again are hosting a slew of special activities for the seventh annual Washington Beer Open House on Saturday.

Here’s what participating Spokane-area brewers have planned for the event organized by the Washington Beer Commission (all run from noon to 5 p.m. unless otherwise indicated):

Badass Backyard: Tours from noon to 4 of the half-barrel, home-based brewery in Millwood (3115 N. Butler Road), which remains in operation though the taproom recently moved to 1415 N. Argonne Road; park in the gravel driveway on the south side of the house.

Black Label: Brewery tours by request.

English Setter: Tours throughout the afternoon.

Iron Goat: Brewery tours plus a special Restaurant Week food menu with beer pairings; possible release of this year’s spring seasonal Irish Kate imperial red.

Perry Street: Guided brewery tour at 3 p.m.; happy hour pricing from 2 to 4.

River City: Pouring a tropical fruit-infused Afternoon IPA plus the seasonal Mad Latvian Baltic Porter and Midnight Marmot Imperial Stout.

Steam Plant: Brewery tours on the hour from 3 to 6 p.m.; vertical tasting of the past five years of Stack Frost Winter Ale (five 5-ounce samples for $12).

Top Frog (Newport): Tours of the recently expanded brewery, plus the release of an imperial stout aged in Jack Daniels whiskey barrels.

Twelve String: Brewery tours and the release of two barrel-aged beers: a kitchen-sink “WTF” blend and an unmarked mystery barrel.

Young Buck: Brewery tours available for small groups, with samples of sour beers that are barrel-aging.
