Today we want to welcome a new sponsor aboard: The 4-Corners BrewFest. On August 11th, 4-Corners.Org will be hosting its Second Annual 4-Corners BrewFest from 3:00 – 7:00 in Shoreline. We hare some pictures from last year’s event below.

Brewers will once again be competing for ‘The Golden Growler’ (think a poor man’s Lord Stanley’s Cup). Last year, Big E Ales took the prize with its Summer Orange Creamsicle, followed closely by Lantern’s Zwarte-Wit and Silver City’s Fat Scotch Ale.
All proceeds from 4-Corners BrewFest are donated back to the community. For 2012, a percentage will be donated to New Beginnings, a domestic violence nonprofit serving King and Snohomish counties. The remainder will go to the 4-Corner neighborhood associations to fund and support their respective community programs, scholarships, and outreach services.
4-Corners.Org is 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered with the Washington State Charities Program and takes its name from the common intersection each of the four neighborhoods share at Richmond Beach Road and 8th Avenue NW in Shoreline, Washington. 4-Corners.Org is 100% volunteer.
