Drinking Good Beer for a Good Cause

Fifty-one adults enjoyed an exciting evening at 7 Seas Tacoma Brewing & Taproom, opens a new window during the History & Hops Fundraiser on September 28th. The program began with Tacoma trivia. Participants were quizzed on their knowledge of Tacoma sports, movies, and history, with the winners taking home pint glasses, hats, and growlers.

Tacoma Library historian Brian Kamens elicited chuckles from the crowd with his fascinating photographic presentation about the history of brewing in Tacoma.

Finally, 7 Seas staff led the group on a behind-the-scenes tour of the brewery and poured samples of their 4 most popular beers for a tasting.
