The Friday beer (week!): Elysian Brewing’s Split Shot Espresso Milk Stout

The Fourth Annual Seattle Beer Week is in full swing. Events around Seattle kicked off last night at Elysian Brewing on Capitol Hill and will be running at various locations through Sunday, May 20th. Speaking of Elysian Brewing, they brewed this year's official Seattle Beer Week beer, the Split Shot Espresso Milk Stout.

How much more Seattle can you get than a beer made with coffee?

This dark brown ale incorporates coffee from Lighthouse Roasters.

There are over 100 events to choose from this year so take a look at the calendar on the Seattle Beer Week website and get out there and have some fun.

A few of the events I'm hoping to attend include:

• Back in Black
• Tour de Pints #4
• This is Washington Dammit!
• Big Tim IPA Cask Fest

Where will we find you during Seattle Beer Week?
