Stout Bout: Blind Stout Tasting at the RAD Beer Garden

The Scoop

Stout Bout is back on Saturday, November 7, at Hi-Wire's RAD Beer Garden in the River Arts District. Fifteen to 20 breweries each pour a stout, served blind, so you judge the beer and not the label. Tasting and voting run from 1pm to 5pm, and voting closes right at 5. Stick around for the 6pm reveal, when the breweries are unmasked and the 2026 champion is crowned. Local food vendors sell food on site, with live entertainment all afternoon. The $56 Full Tasting Pass gets you a pour of every stout, a commemorative glass and a Leisure Time Lager. The $20 Pacer Pass gets five tasting tokens. It's 21 and up and rain or shine. Passes are limited, so grab yours early.
