Hellbent Brewing Company hosts the Emerald City Holiday Project, benefitting the Meadowbrook Community Care, December 15th

100% of toys and proceeds raised go to the Lake City Holiday Project, which will provide these gifts to families in need in the north Seattle area through their program sometime in mid-December. Last year handing out the bags of goodies to the families was the best part!

Partnering with Hellbent Brewing Company, Meadowbrook Community Care, and Swing & Steel Food Truck - the Emerald City Holiday Project is proud to announce Tailgate For Tots toy drive.

With a central focus on providing over 600 gifts to less advantaged families, the Emerald City Holiday Project is your opportunity to think beyond yourself, while enjoying a pint of Hellbent-brewed beer and a plate of food from Swine & Steel. All that's asked of you is to arrive during the Seahawks away game in South Carolina, from 10 am to 2 pm.

How do you participate?

The rules are simple, show up with either a $10 donation or a new or unwrapped toy worth $10. In exchange, Swine & Steel is donating a meal through the generosity of Hellbent Brewing Company. For more information on the event, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/596136537791007/.

Hellbent Brewing Company is located at 13035 Lake City Way N.E. in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood. For more information, including up to date draft lists and events, visit http://www.hellbentbrewingcompany.com/.

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!
