Beer Releases:
Hazy On You (ABV 6.5% / IBU 45) Our hazy IPA delivers the grapefruit and orange character of Ekuanot and Simcoe hops with a low level of bitterness for a juicy flavor and mouthfeel. Vienna and 2 row malts create a light malt profile that lets the hop shine while wheat and flaked oats bring on the haze. Let us go hazy, hazy on you!

Aviator Doppelbock (ABV 8.4% / IBU 40)   Dark and malty with good hop character from German noble varieties, this bold, big bodied double strong bock is truly a meal in a glass!

Skagit Farm to Pint FEST 2023 MUSIC

/0 Comments/in /by

Live Music

The festival offers more than just beer and food!  The Skagit Farm to Pint FEST stage will host three bands from Skagit Valley, Bellingham, and San Juan Island.

THE ENTHUSIAST – Electrified Folk Rock from the SKAGIT VALLEY

Hailing from the shores of Anacortes, The Enthusiasts are a Washington State band of folks whose love of music is only rivaled by their love of life! Siblings, Sommer and Andrew, have been writing songs together since the days of their youth and have expanded their acoustic penned songs of joys and struggles to a full band that expands their sound to showcase their infectiously dynamic, enthusiastic approach to folk rock. Featuring guitars, drums, bass, mandolin, accordion, and harmonies from one to all.  The Enthusiasts describe their sound as energetic and approachable, with a bevy of covers and original songs that will get you singing and dancing!

SWAY WILD

San Juan Island, WA-based indie folk-rock duo Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw are back at it with a new sound, and a new name: Sway Wild! Their exceptional vocal harmonies, coupled with Fer’s pioneering electric guitar work, have become a vehicle to carry them around the world, sharing stages with the likes of Iron & Wine, Lake Street Dive, and Watchhouse. Sway Wild’s infectious sound explores the corners of rock, pop, funk, worldbeat, and folk, but at its nucleus, it is undeniably a music full of joy. It can squeeze the heart in your chest, it can draw tears from your eyes, and it can force you to get up and move your body; over and over, it somehow manages to do all three at once. Mandy Fer also tours as the lead guitarist for Grammy nominated Allison Russell and recently performed with Brandi Carlile and Jason Isbell.

THE SWEET GOODBYES

Taber Darland and Lisa Harmon have been performing individually throughout the Pacific Northwest for many years. In the spring of 2015, the two Bellingham based singer-songwriters discovered a kindred voice in each other and decided to launch the folk duo, The Sweet Goodbyes. This collaboration has revealed strength beyond the sum of its parts. With intricate melodies, weaving harmonies and lyrics that are both political and deeply personal, The Sweet Goodbyes offer their audiences a chance to witness something rare. Taber Darland and Lisa Harmon wear their hearts on their sleeves and together their voices blend flawlessly. You can’t help but feel good when you watch this duo perform live. The Sweet Goodbyes are full of charm and talent – sure to prick the ears and put a shiver up the spine.
