This annual project, spearheaded by Hellbent Brewing and Watershed Pub & Kitchen, supports the Northgate and Lake City Communities. Hence, the beer is called GateCity IPA. Funds raised by the beer and the events support North Helpline, a community service organization that works to prevent homelessness and provide food security.
Here’s the official announcement about this year’s beer and the program.
GateCity 2022 begins today!
For the 5th year, Hellbent Brewing and Watershed Pub & Kitchen have collaborated to bring the award-winning GateCity IPA to the community during Seattle Beer Week 2022. The annual project serves as a fundraiser for North Helpline, a local community services organization. Participating locations will donate $1 per pint of GateCity IPA sold to support the Northgate and Lake City communities (hence “GateCity IPA”) by supporting the important work of North Helpline.
North Helpline is a homelessness prevention and food bank service in North Seattle. Their essential work is summed up by their motto: “We believe that all deserve adequate food, housing, and respect. We assist our neighbors in obtaining basic needs that affirm their human dignity and worth.”
It is easy for local beer drinkers to participate. Simply drink the beer at any of the participating locations. Find the beer at:
- The Growler Guys
- Fiddler’s Inn
- The Beer Authority
