LivingSocial Beerfest hits the road

by | Jul 23, 2013

When Netflix wanted to make their own content, they did. When Google wanted to be more than just search engine, they offered more features. Now LivingSocial is going out and doing their thing, one of which is a good ol’ fashioned Beerfest.

The online deal-selling giant began putting on touring original events with the first being a 5K Dance Party. Next up on their list is the LivingSocial Beerfest, a touring festival featuring local beers, food trucks, live music and outdoor games.

The tour’s eight stops will range from the West to the East Coast with a stop in Chicago. If the folks at LivingSocial learned anything after helping to sell tickets for other Pacific Northwest beer festivals, it’s we love our local craft beers. This might explain why they’re opening festival will be in Seattle on Sept. 6 and 7.

The weekend will take place at the Northwest side of Seattle Center’s Next 50 Plaza. Here, more than 40 local craft breweries and a variety of food trucks will provide festivalgoers with all they can indulge in.

To expand your experience with Ultra VIP tickets, which will provide ten additional tokens as well as access to an air-conditioned tent equipped with a food buffet and bean bag seats.

LivingSocial has partnered to help support the efforts of The World is Fun, a Seattle-based social club focused on developing unique volunteer, cooperation and charity opportunities in the city.

To keep track of participating breweries and food trucks, check out the event’s Facebook page.

Friday, Sept. 6 – Saturday, Sept. 7 || Fri: 6–10 pm, Sat: Noon–4 pm, 6–10 pm || Seattle Center’s Next 50 Plaza || 320 Harrison St. Seattle || Tickets: $30/$99 (Ultra VIP)
