This Saturday, June 7, 7 Seas Brewing releases its Life Jacket Session IPA at an epic venue: Cheney Stadium, the home of the Tacoma Rainiers. Join the brewery at the ballpark when the Rainiers take on the Albuquerque Isotopes at 5:05 p.m. The beer will be available at several locations around the stadium. Who knows, the 7 Seas crew might even have a couple surprises up their sleeves.
And the cat is now officially out of the bag. I am honored to be “Washington’s Craft Beer Ambassador” and to be throwing out the first pitch at Saturday’s game. I would describe myself as a scrappy right-hander with a side-arm delivery and a natural curveball. As if! I promise to do my best and not embarrass the entire craft beer industry. I have deep Tacoma roots. I was born there, as were my three sisters and brother. So I’ve got some family pride on the line. Again, I am honored and humble by this opportunity.
Here’s the press release from 7 Seas Brewing.

With the sun shining and waters warming up, it’s time to quench that growing thirst with Gig Harbor’s 7 Seas Brewing’s Summer Seasonal: Life Jacket Session IPA.
Join us for the release at an epic venue, Cheney Stadium. The stadium’s first ever beer release. The seasonal brew will be available throughout the Stadium in multiple locations. 7 Seas’ Brewmaster Travis Guterson adds, “Baseball and beer are match made in NW heaven. Cheney Stadium, being the progressive, forward thinkers they are, have an excellent craft beer selection. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with them on this launch!”
This NW summer classic style, Session IPA, balances low ABV, high drinkability, with bursting hop flavor and aroma. Life Jacket Session IPA is well suited to quench your thirst and deliver hoppy satisfaction. Brewed with Pale Ale, Pilsner, and a touch of Wheat & Light Crystal malts– the beer finishes crisp and clean with a load of Amarillo and Nugget hops imparting juicy hop aromas of tangerine and grapefruit. At a relaxing 4.8% ABV, this brew is perfect for enjoying on our beautiful NW waters, backyard BBQ, or at a ball game! Available June-August on Draft.
Who’ll be throwing out the first pitch? None other then, WA’s Craft Beer Ambassador, Kendall Jones, a freelance writer and freestyle beer drinker. In 2008 Kendall founded the Washington Beer Blog, one of the Northwest’s most popular and trusted sources for beer news and information. Beyond blogging, he writes and represents WA Beer for local and national publications and press.
