Beardslee Public House at the Village at Beardslee Crossing is set to open on Aug. 10. From opening day through the end of August, Beardslee Public House will donate 10 percent of all Beardslee beer sales to student scholarship funds at University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia College.

The donated monies from Beardslee Public House beer sales will benefit the following two scholarships:

· The UW Bothell General Scholarship is for students who have strong academic standing, contribute positively to the university environment and exhibit financial need.

· Cascadia College’s Bill Christopher Scholarship Fund is named after Cascadia’s second president and benefits students who are first in their family to go to college and display financial need.

Beardslee Public House will be a 10-barrel brewery featuring 12 of the finest local craft beers on tap with seasonal rotating guest handles. Beardslee Public House is also a ‘scratch casual’ restaurant, featuring locally sourced and produced food for its house made burgers, sausages, pizzas, charcuterie and other specialty menu items. Everything served at Beardslee will be made in house: the restaurant will grind its own meat, bake its own fresh bread and will have a separate, specialized charcuterie kitchen.
