This year Skagit Valley is celebrating tulips and its breweries once again. The Skagit Farm to Pint Fest celebrates the tulips and beer that are products of the valley. Funds raised from the fest are donated to Viva Farms, a nonprofit that teaches farming in the area. All Skagit breweries in the fest use Skagit grown grains that are malted at Skagit Valley Malts down the street from Chuckanut’s South Nut.
