This week's highlights

If you're hunting for Washington brewery events this weekend, start with two on the calendar. Bale Breaker says its emo night, "Wake Me Up When Harvest Ends," runs Oct 16 in Yakima, per its newsletter from Oct 7.

The next day, Iron Horse says it's holding what it calls its inaugural fall cider party in Ellensburg.

I like that one of them is a first. Iron Horse is putting a cider party inside a brewery, and I'm telling you: that's a style choice, not a side project.
