Dinner Preview: WA: Art of the Table hosts Portland’s (OR)Hopworks Urban Brewery, 11/2

Seattle, WA – Another beer dinner has come to our attention. This time it features a familiar brewery to those that frequent 2944 Southeast Powell Boulevard in Portland. Known regionally as one of the few breweries featuring organic ingredients in their beers, Hopworks is coming to Seattle this November.

A little about Hopworks Urban Brewery (located in Portland)

Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) is Portland’s first Eco-Brewpub offering world-class beer and fresh food in a relaxed and communal atmosphere.  HUB incorporates a range of sustainable practices in their operation and makes every effort to protect “our” future with a thoughtful alternative.  Hopworks is 100% renewably powered and “cradle to gate” carbon neutral.

On November 2nd Hopworks’ will be featured as guest host (of sorts) at Art of the Table for another in their Beer Dinners.
