The Hop Scotch Spring Beer and Scotch Festival will feature over 80 beers, wines and spirits and allow guests to interact with beverage experts. The April 23-24 event in Seattle benefits the Seattle International Film Festival.

General Admission to the event is $25 ($20 in advance) and includes tokens to sample beer and wine. Over 60 handcrafted microbrews, import beers and wines are served at one of the first tastings featuring new spring collections.

For an expanded tasting experience spirit samplers of Scotch or tequila may be purchased.

The Spirit Samplers are $10 and include a self-guided flight of five – 1/4oz tastes. In both experiences experts will be on hand to answer questions.

For guests looking for a more in depth knowledge of Scotch, Scotch Seminars feature an hour long experience with Ari Shapiro, one of only 15 experts in the United States to earn the distinction of “Master of Whisky”. The experience introduces guests to the complete range of taste experiences, which includes 8-¼ oz. single malts, blends and vatted whiskies for only $30.
