Georgetown prepares to release Bob’s Brown Ale

While we are all excited about the upcoming Seattle Beer Week festivities, it is also time to celebrate the annual release of Bob’s Brown Ale. Each year on May 14th, Georgetown Brewing releases a commorative beer, the proceeds from which are donated to the Ronald McDonald House. Last year, the proceeds from Bob’s Brown Ale totaled $45k. Not only is it a darn tasty brown ale, it also benefits a worthy cause.

The official kick-off party is this Friday, May 14th at the Nickerson Street Saloon in Seattle. We’ve attended the Bob parties in the past and they are always a rip-roarin’ good time, which isn’t surprising given the passion that the Georgetown crew has for this cause and their usual fun-lovin’ enthusiasm.

Here’s the story from Georgetown:

Bob’s is a special beer brewed in honor of our friend, Bob Hirsch, who fought cancer valiantly for many years. He lived his final days to the fullest and he is an inspiration to all of us.

Bob’s Brown Ale will be released every May 14th (Bob’s birthday). 100% of our proceeds from Bob’s will be donated in honor of Charles “Bob” Hirsch to the Seattle Ronald McDonald House to provide a “home-away-from-home” for Children’s Hospital patients and families.

Bob’s Brown Ale is big and brown with lots of hops. We use a blend of 2-row Pale, Caramel, Chocolate, Munich, and Roasted Barley Malts, then add sh*t load of Centennial and Crystal hops to make this a meaty brown brew. Alcohol by volume is 6.3%.

Starting on May 14th Bob’s will be on tap at the locations listed below (read the whole story to see the complete list). The more you drink, the more money the Ronald McDonald House gets. Consider it a challenge.
