If the roving bands of drunks weren't enough indication, the 17th-annual Holiday Ales Fest has taken over downtown's Pioneer Square this weekend, featuring nearly 50 holiday-inspired beers (read: stouts and porters), including 16 designated rare kegs available in limited quantities. The $30 event ticket gets drinker a required tasting mug and 10 pours (measuring four ounces of booze each). More information here. [EaterWire]
