Tacoma Beer Week 2025 Comes In Like A Lion

You read that headline correctly. Tacoma Beer Week has shifted to March, just five months since Tacoma’s last beer group hug. Held in August for the last several years, the 10-day event has moved to March following consultations with local breweries and venues, bringing a fresh twist to the festivities.

“We’re passionate about supporting our local breweries, businesses, and community,” said Matt McLaren, director of Tacoma Beer Week, in a media release. “Shifting the event to March allows us to bring even more attention to the local economy during a quieter season and provides easier access to travel and accommodations for those visiting from out of town.”

This year, Tacoma Beer Week will feature more than 30 regional events, offering everything from beer and cider tastings to community and art-focused experiences. “We want Tacoma Beer Week to be accessible to everyone,” says McLaren. “Whether you’re a beer expert or just beginning your journey, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”

Here’s the rest of the Tacoma Beer Week 2025 media release. …

Local businesses and organizations have partnered with Washington breweries to craft four exclusive beers to celebrate the Week. Collaborations include Jan Parker Cookery with E9 Brewing, Communities for a Healthy Bay with Silver City Brewery, Lander Coffee and the Grit and Grain Podcast with Logan Brewing, and the renowned local pop-punk band Amber Pacific with Georgetown Brewing – the latter being released at Amber Pacific’s album launch at Airport Tavern March 8.

“While we originally thought 2025 might be a bit quieter after our large recent August event, it’s clear this year’s Tacoma Beer Week is shaping up to be just as vibrant as ever,” says McLaren. “We have an incredible lineup of events, including a science fair, glassblowing with Hilltop Artists, cheese and beer pairings, and so much more. Come out and support your local community, meet new friends, be kind, and love Tacoma. We’ll see you out there!”

“Um…Actually,” a Game Show, tests your trivia knowledge while raising funds for a local charity. It will be held for the second year in a row with Sierra Nevada Brewing at the Blue Mouse Theatre.
