It is hard to believe that Stoup Brewing (1108 NW 52nd St) has already been enticing the neighborhood with craft brews for a whole year. Although Stoup’s official birthday was October 23, the team is set to celebrate this Saturday, November 1, from noon – 10 p.m.
Stoup was the ninth brewery to open in Ballard and has definitely made an impact on the Seattle beer scene. The brewery was opened by Ballard residents Brad Benson, a chemist, and Lara Zahaba, wine industry expert. Robyn Schumacher is the final member of the team who is a certified beer geek, biologist and Cicerone.
This special birthday celebration will include the release of Stoup’s latest brews including a German-Style Pilsner and an Imperial Porter aged in whiskey barrels.
Attendees will be entertained by the live music of Robert (Bobcat) Newberry from 4 p.m. and band The Kings at 7 p.m. Stoup will also have food trucks Napkin Friends and Mad Dawgs Hotdogs on hand to serve up the goods.
A large tent will be erected out the front of the brewery to accommodate the party no matter the weather.
