Light Beer Fest 2026

Illustration by Adrienne Wilber

During the lightest time of the year… comes a celebration of the lightest of beers. Flying Lion invites you to share in our love of lagers (and other light beers) at the 3rd Annual Light Beer Fest, taking place at the brewery Thursday, July 2nd & Friday, July 3rd. 10am to midnight both days.

Yes, we’re the home of Seattle’s Dark Beer Fest. Which mean’s we need to balance the cosmic scales by bringing you 2 days of light beer as we mark the beginning of Summer. Each day will feature a different lineup of all-light options from us and our local beverage friends. Enjoy a variety of Witbiers, Altbiers, Kölsches, Pilsners, Belgian-styles, and of course a wide variety of lagers! No tickets or reservations are required; all seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Annual Light Beer Collaboration! - We joined up with FOUR different breweries this year to brew FOUR different collabs just for Light Beer Fest:

Heated Rye-Valry (Spelt/Rye Lager) with Barley POP! Brewing
Dusty Roller Kentucky Common with Volition Brewing
Rooted Sweet Potato Rice Lager with The BSMT @ 23rd Ave Brewery
MCM Helles with The Good Society & Montana Craft Malt

Follow the Facebook Event Page for each day's beer lineup and special announcements.
