Hellbent Brewing Company presents "Hellbent vs. The Forklift Phantom", October 26th

Located in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood, Hellbent Brewing Company has announced another themed-event which benefits a worthy charity, Solarize Puerto Rico.

Solarize Puerto Rico will help rebuild a stronger and greener Puerto Rico by engaging communities and their youth to develop local and sustainable energy solutions. Our project is to solarize a school in Puerto Rico that teaches kids about environmental sustainability. We are currently raising money to solarize this school so that they will be more resilient during times of disasters and also a hub for power for their community. Please donate through our Facebook page. We are a 501c3 non-profit, all of your donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your support. Solarize Puerto Rico!

Starting at noon, October 26th, Hellbent's taproom will be covered from floor to ceiling in Halloween regalia as guests arrive in the Halloween best. Throughout the day, guests who drink any Hellbent-brewed beers will have the peace of mind that a $1 from every pint will go towards Solarize Puerto Rico.

Starting at 7 pm, a panel of three judges will select from those who've registered for the costume contest and declare three winners. All that's asked of you is that you show up, register around 7 pm. In addition to a costume contest, the brewery is hosting a silent auction, a Puerto Rican themed menu (with a suggested $20 donation), as well as a first-for-Hellbent haunted house tour of the brewery from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
