Long-held as one of the preeminent seafood restaurants in the area, Ray's Cafe is happy to announce this year's breweries as part of their annual Ballard Beer Awards. Now in its third year, Ray's Cafe has selected  Stoup Brewing, Reuben's Brews, Lucky Envelope Brewing and Maritime Pacific Brewing.

For those who never attended the Ballard Beer Awards, the rules are simple, support a brewery. It starts with a visit to Ray's Cafe and continues with purchasing any beer (any size) from one of the four listed breweries. On May 14th, Ray's Cafe will count the number of drinks purchased against one of the selected breweries and declare the winner for 2018.

In addition to daily opportunities to support your local Ballard brewery, a different brewery will be on hand during Happy Hour from 4 pm - 6 pm, on Wednesdays. Curious who? Here's the lineup. 

• Wednesday, April 18th, Reuben's Brews

• Wednesday, April 25th, Stoup Brewing

• Wednesday, May 2nd, Maritime Pacific Brewing Company

• Wednesday, May 9th, Lucky Envelope
