Second Annual 4-Corners Brewfest on Tap for Sat. Aug. 11

The second annual 4-Corners BrewFest will be held on Saturday, August 11th from 3-7 p.m. on the patio and grass behind the Innis Arden Clubhouse at 1430 NW 188th St.

Once again, the lineup of brewers at 4-Corners BrewFest looks to be outstanding. Last year, Big E Ales took home the coveted Golden Growler with its Orange Creamsicle Ale. In 2012, the defending champs will be back as well as crowd favorites American Brewing, Diamond Knot Craft Brewing, SilverCity Brewing, Emerald City Beer Company, Lantern Brewing, Naked City Brewing, Fremont Brewing,Georgetown Brewing, Gallagher’s Where-U-Brew, and Two Beers Brewing.

This year’s lineup also includes newcomers Lazy Boy Brewing, Hilliard’s Beer, Schooner EXACT Brewing,Brickyard Brewing, 192 Brewing, Elliott Bay Brewing, Reuben’s Brews, 7 Seas Brewing, and Pike Brewing. All told, twenty local craft brewers will be featuring over 40 delicious ales, lagers, porters, and stouts.

4-Corners BrewFest is a fundraiser for the Shoreline neighborhood associations of Hillwood, Richmond Highlands, Richmond Beach, and Innis Arden, with all proceeds going back into the community. Thisyear, an equal percentage of the proceeds will also be donated to New Beginnings, a shelter for those affected by domestic violence.

Tickets are currently on sale for $30 at Brown Paper Tickets or in person at Beach House Greetings (626 Richmond Beach Road). Your ticket gets you: ten 5oz tastes from 40+ beers, a souvenir glass, free food from local Shoreline restaurants, grilled brats, and more. A limited number of designated driver tickets (food and soft drinks only) are also available online for $15.
This year’s music will be provided by the Shoreline Bluegrass All-Stars, a loose collection of accomplished local pickers and jammers.

Space is limited so it’s a good idea, and cheaper, to get your tickets early. Tickets at the door, if available, will be $40.
