Kokua Maui 

Kokua [koh-ku-ah] (Help)

As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii this one hits home. I grew up on the Big Island, Kona side. I went to Boy Scout camp, bartended, and played A LOT of tennis on Maui; I’ve worked with many people who call Maui home. Witnessing the destruction from the past few days makes all of those memories come rushing back; the heartbreak, devastation and hopelessness makes my heart hurt. Prayers, Love and Aloha goes out to all the people of Maui. We at Hellbent will be having a fundraiser, both locations on Wednesday Aug. 16th. Do Good Drink Beer “Island Style” Come Down and support!!

About Hellbent Brewing Company

Hellbent started with three of us – Jack Guinn, Chris Giles and Randy Embernate – longtime friends and restaurant industry veterans. For us, starting Hellbent was the natural (and the coolest) thing to do, growing directly out of our experience and our love of beer. For years we home-brewed and toiled over our business plan. Then, we met Brian Young – award winning brewer, co-owner and fast friend – who turned out to be the missing link. Within a couple months, we were on the hunt for the perfect location.

We wanted our brewery in Lake City, where Chris and Jack already called home, to contribute to the growing beer scene here. When we stepped into the old CM Hopkins building for the first time, we knew we had found our venue. Starting right away, we gutted it and began the transformation, building with reclaimed wood, steel, good humor, and a fair amount of muscle.

Finally, after years of fierce determination and hard work (including seven months of construction), we opened our doors in the thick of microbrew country. We didn’t do this alone. We are humbled by the support and kindness of our friends and family that helped us along the way. So, to our beer-loving brothers and sisters of the Pacific Northwest, cheers and welcome to Hellbent!

About Meadowbrook Community Care, the benefactors of this year's Emerald City Holiday Project

Founded in 2007, Meadowbrook Community CARE (MC2) engages the larger Lake City community to partner and strengthen existing resources for those most in need. We work to build a strong, healthy and successful North Seattle community by focusing on family and educational support, emergency housing, and sustainable community engagement.

About Swine & Steel Food Truck

Southern-inspired with Seattle flair! From our specialty pork sandwiches and sauces to our signature sides, our goal is to be the food truck you want to find. Visit our calendar to find out where we’ll be next.

We're kicking off the release of our very first can –– Ocean Views Hazy Pale Ale –– AND the release of our Coastal Gose by cleaning up the neighborhood! Join us for a day of plogging followed by a beach bash in the city with beers, music, food specials, a raffle, and prizes for the best ocean-themed outfits!

Plogging = run or walk while picking up trash. A one-mile community plog will start at Noon. A $10 plogging entry fee donation goes to the Surfrider Foundation and includes Plogging supplies, an Ocean Views T-shirt, and a beer ticket for an Ocean Views can (ages 21 and older) after the plog. Tickets with full details available through Eventbrite.

Following the plogging event, come back to the Barrel House for a Beach Bash! Food will be available for purchase on the patio from Pura Vida Ceviche and Faballicious Sweets, alongside food specials from Cascade’s kitchen. Other beers include Cascade Mint Condition Gose, plus three guest taps: a Gose from Grains of Wrath, a Gose from Manifest Beer Company, and a Helles from Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen. DJ Mr. Romo will be spinning tunes on the patio from 2 to 8pm.

We'll be raffling off Cascade Swag and Oregon Brewers Festival 2019 packages. A portion of the daily proceeds will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation.

It’s Pride Month in Seattle and we are talking to brewers and bar owners who put inclusivity at the heart of their craft. In an industry synonymous with the hyper masculine “bro culture,” how do they ensure a safe (and fun!) place at their tables for all sexual orientations and gender identities? What can be done to recruit and support employees who identify as LGBTQIA+? How do they handle discrimination that comes from customers? What proactive measures can be taken to ensure our businesses are truly places where all can relax and enjoy a pint?Join us for this important discussion and, of course, tasty beer!

Panel Participants:
Elysian Brewing
Marination / Super Six
Pike Brewing Company
Stoup Brewing

Moderated by Laura Clise, Founder and CEO of Intentionalist.

This is the second time we’ve made this beer to raise money for the charity North Helpline, a poverty assistance and food bank service right across the street from our brewery. Their essential work is summed up by their motto:

“We believe that all deserve adequate food, housing, and respect. We assist our neighbors in obtaining basic needs that affirm their human dignity and worth.”

Watershed Pub & Kitchen, North Helpline, and Hellbent Brewing all came together again to create a beer and an event that support our neighborhood--the Northgate and Lake City communities (hence “GateCity IPA”). A host of local bars and restaurants are participating to make the GateCity IPA project come to life. At every location during Seattle Beer Week (May 10th-May 19th), $1 per pint of GateCity IPA will be donated to North Helpline.

Pub Crawl Information

Another reason to check out this beer is that last year, at the Washington Beer Awards, GateCity IPA won the gold medal in the American Style IPA category!! It’s brewed with all Washington ingredients, including malt from Skagit Valley Malting and aggressive amounts of Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops from the Yakima Valley. This beer is a pale IPA with gentle bready overtones from the malt and vibrant mango, papaya, citrus and pine aromas from the hops.

Press Release

Brew Review: A Northwest Brewfest & Benefit on April 18, 2018

Seattle, WA, April 1, 2018. Brew Review is a Northwest-centric benefit for the greater good. The Brewfest highlights and benefits union rights, employment rights, small businesses, and breweries who are combining their powers to support a local non-profit—the Unemployment Law Project. 

7 Northwest craft breweries are competing to be the crowd favorite: Elysian, Kulshan, Mollusk, Reuben’s Brews, Two Beers, Seattle Cider Company, and Pike. The guests will judge who of this rotating tap of breweries has the most satisfying 4 oz. pour of the 7 tastes included with each ticket. It will also be fun to see who brings home the giant trophy. 

The silent auction will feature donations from a curated selection of Northwest businesses and non-profits. A few featured items are a pair of Sounders tickets (donated by the best in the MLS), Paramount Theater tickets, a gift certificate to Canlis, and a vacation rental in the Methow Valley. 

Brew Review also shows off how lawyers, unions, and individuals can make an impact for the greater good. Our sponsors are dedicated, pro-employee law firms: McDonald Hoague & Bayless, Breskin Johnson Townsend, Schwerin Campbell Barnard Iglitzin & Lavitt, and Terrell Marshall Duadt & Willie. 

Brew Review benefits a great cause: 100% of the funds raised will go to the Unemployment Law Project. The Unemployment Law Project is a non-profit law office that helps people who lost their jobs obtain unemployment benefits while they search for new work. This non-profit makes a little bit go a long way. In 2017, the ULP represented 480 clients at benefits hearings with only 4 staff, 1 fellow, and an army of volunteers. 

With the Seattle community’s help, the ULP has become the comeback kid of the legal services non-profit community. When the economic downturn happened, the office shrunk to 2.5 employees and continued to serve the entire state of Washington and run 2 offices (in Seattle and Spokane). Through the intrepid leadership of the executive director, a faithful staff, generous volunteers, and Brew Review, the Unemployment Law Project has returned to its stride. 

Drinking a beer at Brew Review is more than just a happy hour with your friends; it is joining a community effort to support the unemployed in Washington State. Be there.

• Morning Dew Pale 5.4% - Notes of candied orange peel and bitter citrus abound in this pale ale built for fortifying you during times that require mental acuity. Light and creamy, but plenty hoppy, it utilizes experimental hop #6297 to great effect and leaves you with a dry finish.

• Death Knell 9.5% - Imperial stout aged in Rittenhouse bourbon barrels for 6 months. Notes of vanilla and coconut sit on top of a rich cocoa powder and roasted graininess. A warming dram for cold days.

Portland, Oregon. Earth. (January 19, 2018)- On Sunday, Jan. 28, Portland’s Ecliptic Brewing will partner with the OHSU Casey Eye Institute to host IPAs for Eyes. The sudsy benefit will help fund quality prescription glasses for under-served Oregon residents through the Casey Community Outreach Program.

Ecliptic will donate 10 percent of all sales on Jan. 28 to help pay for free prescription glasses offered by the Community Outreach Program.  In addition, Ecliptic Brewing’s distributor partnerMaletis Beverage, in addition to their friends at Point Blank Distributing, have agreed to match donations from the day.

Event attendees will also be able to tour the Casey Eye Institute’s 33-foot, fully outfitted mobile ophthalmology unit, which provides free medical vision screenings at locations ranging from the state’s remote corners to Portland’s urban core. 

Entirely donor funded, the Casey Community Outreach Program is staffed by volunteer eye doctors, technicians and support staff. Since 2010, it has traveled 23,000 miles, making 240 visits at over 65 different community centers and health clinics to provide medical vision care to over 7,000 community members. In addition to providing no-cost glasses, the program screens for eye disease in an effort to eliminate preventable blindness.

Vision Loss, By The Numbers:

• Nearly 20.6 million American adults suffer from visual loss, even though many of the underlying causes are treatable or preventable.
• Blindness and visual impairment in the U.S. is expected to double by 2050, posing a significant public health challenge.
