Beer lovers take over Phinney Center

Saturday night’s 22nd annual Beer Taste at the Phinney Neighborhood Center brought in more than 700 people to enjoy “Beer Care for All” (a little riff on health care reform, in case you missed all those folks in medical scrubs).
The first floor was packed as a very long line of people waited outside to get in.

And the upstairs was also jammed as people moved from room to room, trying out the 30-some craft brews.

The musicians were fantastic, but I neglected to get the band’s name. If anyone knows, please put a note in comments.

First place winner, as voted on by attendees, went to Two Beers Jive Espresso Stout. Second place was Naked City Hoptari. And third place was Georgetown Superchopp.
