The season’s warm weather is the perfect excuse to celebrate that most traditional summer pastime: tipping back a beer while outside. Enjoy more than 150 beers from 15 countries at the annual Seattle International Beerfest. Also featured will be live music and games for those whose heads spin with too many beer options, plus the Grande Beer Garden with discounted beer from Italy and the Czech Republic. And with proceeds benefiting local nonprofit Pet Cross (an organization that supports animal-help groups), you can feel good about helping to polish off all those kegs. Prices vary.
