Bothell is launching what it hopes will become an annual event: the Bothell Beer Festival. Billed as an "outdoor block party" in downtown Bothell, the festival features a dozen local breweries (including Brickyard, HiFi, and Lazy Boy), Carolina Smoke BBQ, and live music. The festival runs from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday on 101st Avenue between Main Street and 183rd Street. Tickets include a tasting glass and six tastings. After the festival, The Hop & Hound is throwing an after party with select festival beers on tap.
