Brewers Ball 2009

The 4th annual Brewers Ball was held in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, 7 March 2009, to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Some 16 breweries, and many of their brewers, participated.

The event raised $222,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to fund research, care, and education programs.
