Here are a few of my favorites from the session,

Yaar Mateys!! Thursday is the day!  The third annual Hopebrew event benefitting Get Hitched Give Hope – where good people have a good time all for a really great cause!!  Seattle’s local home-brewing association The Filthy Brewing Alliance guys are donating more than 60 gallons of flavor-filled home-brew! I’ve heard rumors of IPA, Blueberry Wit, Cider, Ginger Pear Soda, Belgiums, Imperial Reds & Berlinerweiss.  On top of the already amazing selection (and creatively named) of home-brew, we will also have some DEEEELICIOUS cider from Alpinfire Cider and for those DD’s we appreciate so much – Dry Soda will have a station set up so our designated drivers won’t go home thirsty!

This event is going to be gangbusters, for sure!  Here are the details::
