Here’s the news release I just received from co-owner Devon Kreps.

Seventh Sun Brewing Company in Dunedin, FL plans to unveil their beer on Jan 7th; the first glass poured will be up for auction, proceeds benefitting the Homeless Emergency Project (HEP).

Owner Justin Stange began brewing beer shortly after opening on December 2nd.  Since that date, Seventh Sun has been offering guest taps of beer in the same styles the pair plan to offer – a mix of Belgian style ales, sour beers and a variety of IPA’s.

The brewery will open with all ten hand-blown glass taps pouring Seventh Sun beer for the first time on January 7th.  Those vying for the first taste can bid on Ebay (or search Ebay with item # 230719655159) and take their pick of the first of the ten beers to be poured.

Proceeds of the auction will be donated to Clearwater’s Homeless Emergency Project (HEP), one of the oldest and largest providers of housing and support services for the homeless in Pinellas.  Visit www.ethep.org for more information.

“We feel very lucky to have the opportunity to begin this venture and we wanted to give something back, especially to a cause that is helping where so many people are hurting right now,” says owner Devon Kreps.  “We really hope that given the spirit of the holiday season, we will be able to raise a substantial amount for HEP.  Getting a family back on its feet takes a lot of resources and every donation whether financial or by volunteering time, makes a difference.”

Seventh Sun’s official launch happens at 1012 Broadway in Dunedin with the first beer pouring at 2:00pm on January 7th.  HEP will also have a booth for those wishing to donate or inquire.
