On July 13th, the Washington Distillers’ Festival, PROOF, returns to Fremont. This flagship tasting event showcases the best of Washington State’s leading, independent distillers – all at Fremont Studios.
Now in its seventh year, PROOF offers attendees a chance to sample selections from more than 40 craft distilleries. More importantly, this is an opportunity to meet the craftspeople who make these superb, and often award-winning, spirits. PROOF also promises delicious bites from 20 local restaurants and food vendors, that will further showcase great tastes from around our State.
“The state of Washington is home to some of the fastest-growing craft distilleries in the nation, and we’re excited to have the chance to partner with the Washington Distillers Guild to showcase these incredible craft spirits,” said Dick Stephens, of Varsity Communications, which produces PROOF for the Guild.
Choose from among sample of locally-made whiskey, gin, bourbon, vodka, rum and other craft spirits. Discover new cocktails, put together by local restaurants, and talk with local bartenders about tips for mixing drinks and upgrading your home bar. Learn about spirits distilled by artisans from around Washington, and even closer to home, and enjoy an opportunity to buy bottles of their elixirs at PROOF, with proceeds benefitting the Washington Distillers Guild.
PROOF is a landmark event – the first of its kind to bring together so many Washington distillers under one roof – and advance purchase of tickets is recommended. Tickets cost $60, through July 2nd, or $85 for a VIP experience. Find out more about PROOF, and buy tickets, at PROOFWashington.org (click here.)
