The year of 2011 will not only bring new and exciting times at the beach, but it will also welcome a new place to gather, enjoy good food, and be in the company of those you love the most.

We are excited to announce “Mill 109 Pub” – a high-end pub eatery that will take the place of our beloved Front Street Cafe. The Cafe is now closed for renovation for several weeks.

The new “Mill 109 Pub”, with the addition of an award winning chef, custom brews, and spirits, will become the ultimate coastal culinary destination for years to come! It will offer a laid back atmosphere which will also celebrate our local lumbering heritage.

“Mill 109 Pub” will continue to cater to the surrounding communities and guests with a family friendly atmosphere. After hours, it will be the favorite destination for good music and a down home feeling that will be perfect for meeting friends and family.

In addition to the Ultimate Beach House contest that ended last week, another chance for our readers to win exciting prizes all throughout July was the Name Our Beer contest. The name of Seabrook’s Front Street Cafe’s new flagship beer was up for grabs and we decided to let you help us pick the perfect name for this delicious Pale Ale at the Cafe!

Over 200 entries were submitted and my goodness did we get some creative name suggestions. We narrowed down the top 10 and had the whole Seabrook Team vote on their favorite one. In the end, we picked a unique and exciting beer name!

Seabrook and Front Street Cafe are proud to announce the winner of the “Name Our Beer” contest – Matt Wardian of Normandy Park, WA and his idea for our beer name – “Kiteloop Pale Ale”!

Kiteloop, a term heard in the arena of kiteboarders, is when a rider loops the kite while catching some serious air. Matt, a passionate kiteboarder who spends much of his time in the waves off Seabrook’s beaches, defines kiteloop as: “A high flying, adrenaline filled, mega powered slingshot through space at the end of tightly spun kite lines. Easing back down to Earth (ocean) with a smooth satisfying splash only leaves you thirsting for more!”

Matt Wardian Kiteboarding Compilation

Matt Wardian submitted Kiteloop Pale Ale because it supports Seabrook’s wish to attract kiteboarders to its hidden coast beaches practically made for the sport! Matt (aka Mamba), currently an Art Director at Boeing, can be described as a “boardhead” having grown up on a skateboard and graduating to a surfboard during his Latin American tour as a teen. He soon added a sail to become a windsurfer and learned to snowboard to ride out the winter. Finally he discovered big kites and decided to become a surf pilot after surviving a few “kitemares”. At 54, he’s going coastal and is ready for some local flavor. As a recent transplant to Pacific Beach, he discovered an inspirational local brew at Seabrook that is an Ale of a beer. Like a great Kiteloop, Matt thinks that this beer is best when inverted and as long as he lands on his feet, he’s always ready for another!

For his winning submission, Matt will be awarded a $50 Front Street Café gift card and a Kiteloop Pale Ale t-shirt which he has volunteered to design.

A big thanks goes to everyone that submitted different ideas for our flagship Seabrook beer! We hope you like our name choice and that you will stop by the Cafe to try it soon.

If you are a big kiteboarder yourself, don’t hesitate to mention that at the Seabrook Cottage Rentals office when you check in – you may be surprised with the kind of welcome you get.

We invite you to submit your name idea for our flagship beer at Seabrook’s
Front Street Cafe.

The beer is a mild, pleasant drinking ale with a touch of residual sweetness. Caramel and chocolate specialty malts are combined with premium northwest 2-row malted barley to create a light amber colored wort. Just enough hops for a delicate bitterness, subdued hop flavor and a nice aroma. Fermentation with yeast creates a nice English style ale which every beer drinker loves.

Please enter your information in the fields below and submit your name suggestion. Entries will be accepted until July 4 and the winning name will be announced by mid July.

The winner will receive a t-shirt with the beer logo and name, and a $50 gift certificate to the Front Street Cafe!

Thank you for participating, let’s pick a super-duper beer name!

The beautiful Washington Coast is an inspiration to many in the Pacific Northwest. While some are inspired to capture nature’s beauty through the camera lens, others try and recreate it on a blank canvas. Luis Mestas, the founder of Lighthouse Ballet Academy here in North Beach, has recently sparked a unique interest in ballet among the locals at Seabrook and Pacific Beach. So many kids enjoyed the ballet lessons that he is now holding a weekly ballet class at Pacific Beach Elementary!

Luis Mestas’ bio includes a masters degrees in education and teaching experience in the Los Angeles school system. He has studied in Russia, Latvia, and Estonia, and has performed with the Pasadena Dance Theater, the Asian American, Ballet company, and Marat Daukayev School of Ballet in LA. He is also a good friend of Arthur Egeli, a nationally recognized artist that moved to Seabrook recently.

Arthur is, in fact, working on an art piece of his own at the moment. He is in the process of completing his second mural – both will be hanging beside the entrance to Lil’s Pantry, Seabrook’s grocery store. Arthur’s work will be welcoming visitors to Seabrook since the Lil’s Pantry market is located at the beginning of Seabrook’ entrance, just across the street from the oceanfront Northwest Glen neighborhood.

To see some action pictures from the ballet class, check out the slideshow below. If you want to find out more about signing up for ballet class or other similar events at Seabrook, check out our events page, or give us a call at (877) 779-9990.
