"Summer's winding to a close, but don't even think about hibernating. This week, the city will keep your cup full and the loneliness (and vampires) at bay with a fresh hop beer fest serving whiffs of harvest heaven and festivals of the garlic-loving, rich-people-hating, and poetry-celebrating varieties. The Time-Based Art Festival gets going, too, and comedian Solomon Georgio is exactly the kind of gay super comedian we need right now. Read on!"
"Breweries and beer drinkers alike prize fresh hop beers for their grassy and vegetal aromas and flavors. Thus, hop harvest, which happens between late summer and early fall, is a highly anticipated time of year. To celebrate, Imperial is reprising their Early Harvest Fresh Hop Festival so folks can whiff and quaff fresh brews including StormBreaker Brewing's If You Fresh Hop It They Will Come IPA, Vice Beer's Fresh to Death pilsner, and more, which utilize hop varieties like Centennial, Crosby, and Strata."
"Earth's reputation precedes them-the Olympia-born drone gods have held sonic weight since the '90s, with a dynamic line-up including Slim Moon, Joe Preston, Karl Blau, Lori Goldston, and Kurt Cobain at different points. Across three decades, they've evolved from seismic drone metal releases to desolate, dust-blown minimalism. On Full Upon Her Burning Lips, core duo Dylan Carlson and Adrienne Davies strip things to the bone with a barren landscape of limited effects and what Carlson describes as an "upfront, drier sound.""
Late-summer programming offers a variety of events including an Early Harvest Fresh Hop Festival celebrating hop harvest with grassy, vegetal beers and brews that use Centennial, Crosby, and Strata hops. The festival features beers such as StormBreaker Brewing's If You Fresh Hop It They Will Come IPA and Vice Beer's Fresh to Death pilsner. The band Earth performs with a decades-long history that shifted from seismic drone metal to desolate, dust-blown minimalism; their new album Full Upon Her Burning Lips emphasizes stripped-down arrangements and an "upfront, drier sound." The Time-Based Art Festival and standup from Solomon Georgio round out the offerings.
