Press Release

SEATTLE --- Building on the popularity of the Ballard Brewed Winter Beer Festival, the eleven breweries that comprise the Ballard Brewery District have once again joined forces to raise money for Bellwether Housing, Seattle’s largest private, nonprofit affordable housing provider.

On Saturday, April 13, Bad Jimmy’s, Hales Ales Brewery, Lagunitas Brewing Company, Lucky Envelope Brewing, Maritime Pacific Brewing Company, NW Peaks Brewery, Obec Brewing, Peddler Brewing, Populuxe Brewing, Reuben’s Brews and Stoup Brewing will come together under one roof, Hale’s Palladium, to pour tastings of their Spring beers and ales.  Each will bring two beers, one of which will be released for the first time that day.

Due to popular demand (the Ballard Brewed Winter Beer Festival sold out!), the breweries have chosen to add a second session to the event.

Session one will run from 2 – 4:00 PM and feature music by Honey Mustard.

Session two will run from 5 – 7:00 PM and feature music by the Tall Boys.

Food will be available for purchase at both sessions from Chavoya’s Hot Dogs and Big Mario’s Pizza.

“We are so thankful to the Ballard Brewery District,” says Amy Besunder, Director of Fund Development and Communications, Bellwether Housing. “To date, they have raised $18,000 through events to support affordable housing in the Seattle area. We are happy to have their partnership in this critical effort.”
