Cuatro Sombras Celebrates The 4th Edition Of Brew & Brews

Cuatro Sombras celebrates the 4th edition of their Brew & Brews event to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria’s landfall in Puerto Rico.

Cuatro Sombras, a specialty coffee brand from Yauco will be hosting their 4th edition of “Brew & Brews,” an event that brings local coffee, craft beer, and chefs together. This year’s event- taking place a day after the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico- will celebrate and commemorate the coffee shop’s resilience in the year after the catastrophic storm.

“We want to celebrate our survival after Hurricane Maria. It’s been a challenging year to say the least, but we couldn’t have made it through without the support of our community. It’s our way to say thank you our campaign donors, our supporters, our clients, and to show them the positive impact their contributions had on people’s lives and coffee crops,” said Mikol Hoffman, Media Manager for Cuatro Sombras.

In the Hurricane’s aftermath, Hoffman and Cuatro Sombras launched the Help PR Coffee Farmers Campaign on GoFundMe to provide direct relief to Yauco’s coffee farmers. The campaign raised over $24,000 in funds and supplies that were distributed by Cuatro Sombras employees to the community of Yauco.

The Brew & Brews event will feature a documentary interviewing the farmers who received aid and supplies, as well as an exhibition of photographs of Yauco before, during, and after the hurricane. During the event guests will enjoy live music, specialty coffee from Cuatro Sombras, craft beer by Rebl Brewery from Utuado, and tapas from Pirilo’s Pizza in Old San Juan.

Brew & Brews: 1 Año Después de María will take place on Friday September 21, 2018 at the Cuatro Sombras Back Lab in Old San Juan from 6pm to 10pm. The event is free of charge and open to the general public. Cuatro Sombras will be hosting a welcome cocktail for all campaign and supply donors from 6pm to 7pm.
