Join us on May 24th and help celebrate the new Elliott Bay Public House & Brewery in Lake City. This family-friendly restaurant marks the third brewpub for owners Brent Norton and Todd Carden who will be on hand to talk about sustainability, organic-brewing and the importance of seeking out under served neighborhoods. See the new brewing facility as well.

Co-hosting the event will be Rhizome Design, a Seattle-based creative design and marketing firm with a mission to develop brand and marketing tools that help businesses grow and prosper. Rhizome has worked closely with Elliott Bay over the years to develop their branding from logos, menus, growlers, coasters and tap handles to all their signage. Meet Creative Director Jen Pennington, who is currently developing the Materials Innovation Exchange website from nuts to bolts for the By-Product Synergy NW program.
