Update for Sept. 28
Locöl Barley and Vine sold over 600 pints of Löwman Brau, the charity-driven beer crafted by Big Al Brewing in White Center, since June 15 when the brew was launched.

On Sept 28, Roxhill Elementary received a check from Locöl for $300 from those sales. 50 cents from each pint went to Roxhill.

Owners Kyle Duce and Shane Whittall presented the check to a group of Roxhill Elementary faculty and Principal Carmela Dellino at the beer,wine and food establishment at 7902 35th Ave S.W.

It was undeniable proof that beer and charity mix quite well.

"One of the biggest thing for us is it's one of the most needy schools in the neighborhood and they do fundraisers all the time," Duce said. "Being a public school it's just hard for them."

"So it's just being able to reach out to the people that need it in the community, and a lot of the parents and teachers live here (near Locöl)."

"A lot of them support us as well, so it's just goes full circle," Whittall said. "Community helping community and keeping it local."

Principal Dellino was all smiles and said the check was proof of the stellar commitment to education from parents, family members and businesses in West Seattle.

When the hyper-local beer launched on June 15 around West Seattle, 10 participating pubs came together to donate the proceeds of the Big Al creation to their favorite charities.

Big Al also plans to have a fall/winter beer and so on, to continue with the charity. Duce said proceeds from the next round will be headed to Roxhill Elementary as well.

On September 28, at 5 pm, Locöl Barley and Vine will present a check to Roxhill "to show our commitment to the community and to help our neighborhood youth," said owner Kyle Duce.
