It’s “Home Sweet Ballard” for April Brewmasters Dinner

March 20, 2014

“Home Sweet Ballard” is the theme for the April 13 Brewmasters Dinner at Ray’s Cafe, as we feature five talented breweries from our own Ballard neighborhood!

The dinner features one seating at 6:00 pm in the Cafe, and guests will be greeted with a glass of Seattle Cider Company Semi Sweet Hard Cider upon arrival. Brewmasters from our five featured breweries will be in attendance to talk about their beers as they mix and mingle among the guests during dinner.
