PORT LUDLOW — A celebration of local beer will enrich adult palates while raising money for the Backpacks for Kids Weekend Nutrition program.
Brew Fest by the Bay will be from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Bay Club, 121 Spinnaker Lane.
Seven local microbreweries will provide samples of their products.
Participating are Valholl Brewing, Sound Brewery, Hood Canal Brewery, 101 Brewery, The Hop Crew Brewing, Port Townsend Brewery and Finnriver Cidery.
A donation of $25 will buy six sampling tickets.
Those who prefer nonalcoholic beverages can purchase root beer or cream soda from Port Angeles’ Bedford Soda for $10.
In addition to beer or soda samples, all participants are entitled to a fully loaded bratwurst, pretzels and peanuts.
Live entertainment by The Norns and The Alternators and a raffle for dozens of homemade and donated items will round out the day.
Backpacks for Kids Weekend Nutrition provides weekend meals to needy children in the Chimacum School District.
The money raised at Brew Fest by the Bay will go directly to the purchase of food for about 80 children each week, organizers said.
The program also provides hygiene supplies for homeless high school students through a pantry program.
Raffle tickets will be sold and drawn at the Brew Fest.
Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets at http://tinyurl.com/PDN-BrewFest; at the Bay Club; at the Beach Club, 121 Marina View Drive; or at the door.
