West End Beer Fest Put on your walking shoes and get ready for a hoppy, sudsy Saturday afternoon with the return of the West End Beer Fest. Five local breweries — all located in downtown Spokane’s west end, obviously — are teaming up to offer discounted, $3 pours to festival attendees, along with live entertainment, tasty eats and more. Those participating breweries are River City, Iron Goat, Whistle Punk, Brick West and the Golden Handle Project, all conveniently located less than a mile from each other. Tickets include a commemorative glass, koozie and access to the featured event beers, which are listed online and range from IPAs to porters and from lagers to pilsners. Also find the lineup of local musicians slated to perform throughout the day. It’s a good idea to purchase tickets in advance since the Oktoberfest version held last fall sold out.
