Lucky Envelope Brewing Celebrates the Year of the Wood Snake with a Week of Festivities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Lucky Envelope Brewing<\/a><\/strong> invites you to help it welcome the Year of the Wood Snake. The annual celebration of the Lunar New Year spans a week with multiple events at the brewery\u2019s taproom in Seattle\u2019s Ballard neighborhood. It all kicks off on January 28th and runs through February 8th. Event info is provided below<\/a>. The Lunar New Year is the biggest holiday in Chinese culture, so it makes sense that it\u2019s a big deal for the brewery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brewery takes its name from a Chinese tradition\u2013tied closely with New Year celebrations\u2013of elders bestowing often red-and-gold envelopes to loved ones as a gesture of luck and goodwill. Lucky Envelope\u2019s brewing philosophy centers on \u201cCulturally Inspired\u00a0Beer\u201d with recipes that draw from modern and historic styles, techniques, and ingredients.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our first Lunar New Year celebration at the brewery in 2016, it has been amazing to see the growing interest in the holiday, not just here at Lucky Envelope, but across the entire Puget Sound,\u201d says\u00a0 Raymond Kwan, Co-Founder and Director of Operations. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see so many Lunar New Year events celebrating different cultures. We\u2019re thrilled to continue sharing our Chinese heritage and\u00a0 upbringing with our community.\u201d\u00a0(This year, two other Seattle brewerie<\/span>s,\u00a0Ladd & Lass Brewing<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Fast Fashion Brewing<\/a>,\u00a0also have plans to celebrate the Lunar New Year.)<\/p>\n

Lucky Envelope Brewing invites you to enjoy various celebration days at the tasting room, including the biggest event on Saturday, February 1st, when the brewery releases its Year of the Snake beers.\u00a0One of the special beers this year was a collaboration project with two other Seattle breweries, Ladd & Lass Brewing and Halcyon Brewing. The result was Sesame Heat, a black sesame and gochugaru cream stout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea came around in the most organic way possible, over gin and tonics during the Washington Craft Beer Summit,\u201d explains\u00a0 Barry Chan, the brewery\u2019s Head Brewer and Co-Founder. \u201cWe discussed numerous styles and flavorings, ultimately settling on black sesame and gochugaru because it not only sounded tasty but we\u2019ve never brewed with sesame before.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Along with that, this year, Lucky Envelope infused its Double Happiness Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout with China Mist black tea. Also, it created two exciting collaboration beers and two more exclusive releases. The brewery will also release its sixth Lunar New Year collaboration with Asheville, North Carolina\u2019s Highland Brewing\u2013a Year of the Snake Honey Amber Lager. To complete the lineup, Lucky Envelope unveils its Pineapple Whip Sour Ale and Pomegranate Hazy Pale Ale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
