99 Bottles Celebrates Five Years of Beer

Jan. 11, 2012 - PRLog -- In its five-years of operation, 99 Bottles has grown from stocking 250 varieties of beer to more than 1,200, plus hard cider and mead. Over the years the store has provided thousands of people with beer style education through in-store events: First Monday Beer Adventure (themes ranging from beer styles to snack pairings), Sip&Shop Wednesday Eves (pouring two staff-selected beers), and special events with breweries and beer experts. As a result, many 99 Bottles patrons are now comfortable hosting their own in-home beer tastings with friends.

99 Bottles’s Five-Year Celebration festivities will be on Friday, January 20, where the swing-top 99 Bottles jug is included for the first 120 individuals to order a 32-ounce fill. Beers on for fills will be posted throughout the day on the store’s website at 99bottles.net/growlers. The annual 99 Bottles Beer & Cake Tasting kicks off at 4:00 p.m. and goes until 7:30 p.m., where three beers will be paired with specially made Irish Death cupcakes by Washington’s #1 Cupcake Shop, Pinkabella Cupcakes, using Quilter’s Irish Death beer from Iron Horse Brewery of Ellensburg. The tasting fee is just $1 per person, with valid ID. There will also be celebratory drawings and giveaways at 99 Bottles beer store throughout the day.
