Celebrating Past Legends: Thomas Kemper Root Beer Kick-Off
In a delightful nod to heritage, Chuckanut Brewery hosts the Thomas Kemper Root Beer Kick-Off, rekindling memories of Mari and Will Kemper’s original Washington State brewing venture. This nostalgic event celebrates the renowned honey-sweetened root beer, making a comeback thanks to Orca Beverage in Edmonds, WA. Dedicated to reviving historic sodas, Orca Beverage has meticulously resurrected this cherished recipe. Join the festivities at Chuckanut’s South Nut Tap Room on June 12 from 4–6 PM in the Port of Skagit, opposite the airport, and connect with Mari Kemper and Orca Beverage representatives to reminisce about the history of Thomas Kemper, a forerunner in the microbrewery movement beginning in 1984.
Thomas Kemper Root Beer was a beloved addition to many soda lineups in the western states until production ceased in 2020. Now, with its return, both longtime fans and new enthusiasts are invited to savor this staple once more. The event promises an engaging Thomas Kemper Story Hour, where attendees can enjoy tales from the past and indulge in Chuckanut’s award-winning beers alongside the legendary root beer.
