PRESS RELEASE

Event organizers announced June 20 that the B•Town Brewfest – a fundraiser event for the SeaTac Guild of Seattle Children’s Hospital – has changed its event date to Saturday, October 13, 2012 at the Burien Community Center.

“We got a call last week from the folks at the Burien Brat Trot regarding their charity beer garden on Saturday, October 6 – the original date of the Brewfest,” said Eric G., one of the B•Town Brewfest organizers. “They were concerned about the Brewfest taking away attendance from their Saturday
evening charitable event. We’ve always loved the Brat Trot and the Burien Community, so we didn’t want to do anything to harm their incredible fund-raising efforts.
“That’s why we’ve moved the date of the Brewfest back one week to October 13th,” he continued.

As a “Thank You” to the B•Town Brewfest, you will find Brewfest event information available for anyone attending the Brat Trot’s Friday night Pub Crawl on October 5th and Saturday beer garden event on October 6th.

“We greatly appreciate the B•Town Brewfest’s understanding and flexibility regarding rescheduling their event. They’ve been wonderful to work with,” said Ashley Fosberg, Executive Director of the Highline Schools Foundation, and one of the organizers of the Brat Trot. “We’re all looking forward to attending the B•Town Brewfest ourselves on October 13th.”

The B•Town Brewfest will have two sessions: 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM, and you must be 21 years or older to attend. This new beer-lovers festival will feature local breweries from around the South Puget Sound area pouring their best drafts.
