MORNING FOAM FOR MONDAY, SEPT. 19 2016: A seven-taster flight of craft beer and cider news, from the fluffy head all the way to the bottom envy. …

For the third year, Inland Northwest Craft Beer Festival is taking the field at Avista Stadium, the home of the Spokane Indians minor league baseball team of the Northwest League, for a celebration of the greater Spokane’s brewing industry Sept. 23-24. Presented by the Washington Beer Commission, the beer festival welcomes 41 craft breweries pouring more than 150 types of beer, all from Washington state. Read our recap of last year’s Inland Northwest Craft Beer Festival.

Salute to fall and cheers to wildlife conservation with a nice cold frothy mug of beer (or cider) at Woodland Park Zoo. The sixth annual after-hours, adults-only Brew at the Zoo beer-tasting event is Thursday, Oct. 6 from 6-9 p.m. Enjoy an evening at the zoo sampling imports, domestics, microbrews and ciders from a host of breweries, including local Northwest favorites, at several indoor and outdoor sampling stations at the zoo.

The brand new Fresh Hop Pop-Up Beer Fest kicks off Tuesday, Sept. 20 in the parking lot of Burnside Brewing Co. With eight taps dedicated to beers made with hops picked within 24 hours of being added to the beer, you may take advantage of the once a year opportunity provided by the Pacific Northwest’s bounty as the center of the world’s hop growing industry.

The Pour Fool says Crux Fermentation Project’s “Better Off Red” [BANISHED] is the best Flanders-style Red Ale being made in the US today because of its drinkability.

Xavier Vanneste, heir to the six-generation Bruges brewing dynasty that owns the 500-year-old De Halve Maan brewery, pipe dream came true. He’s transporting his beer to its bottling plant underground through a plastic pipe instead of via tanker trucks.

Let’s watch video from the first day of the 2016 Oktoberfest in Munich.
