Ray’s to host first ever Ballard Beer Awards

The Ray’s Café team is excited to bring locals the first ever Ballard Beer Awards as voted by the people!

From January 14 through February 14 Ray’s Café will be featuring five Ballard-based breweries on tap for locals to taste and vote for.

Ray’s will offer a special Ballard Beer Flight throughout the duration with a sample from each of the five breweries for $5 for those who want to sample all at once.

Voting is simple, guests just purchase a pint of beer from one of the breweries below during the competition period and that counts as their vote. Patrons can also fill out a ballot if they choose not to imbibe.

The winner will be announced on February 15 and will be presented with a trophy. The winners will also host a “Winning Brewery Dinner” at Ray’s on Saturday, March 5, that will be open to the public.

Participating breweries and their tasting dates are as follows:

• January 15 – Stoup Brewing
• January 19 – Lucky Envelope Brewing
• January 21 – Hilliard’s Beer
• January 26 – Maritime Pacific Brewing Co.
• January 28 – Reuben’s Brews
