After more than a year, Lorelei Brewing Company invited people out to the 4th annual Sips for Sealife benefiting the Texas Sealife Center.
Local vendors, artists, and of course the local brewery were in attendance for one of the biggest fundraisers for the center.
"For us, it's a no brainer to want to lend support where we can, and if we can have an event like this and raise money," said Eric Jolly with the Lorelei Beer Experience.
"It's really important to support local, local businesses, local non-profits. That to me is one of the most beautiful things about this event," said Jamie McWilliams, a volunteer at Texas Sealife.

Volunteers rescued thousands of the endangered amphibians across the Gulf region last week that were effectively paralyzed by the freezing temperatures, preventing them from eating or keeping their heads above water.
Wildlife officials in Corpus Christi recently returned hundreds of sea turtles to the ocean and used slides to return them to the wild.
The gentle creatures were placed one at a time on a wet slide, zoomed back into the water and then swam away.
The Texas Sealife Center says it released more than 200 sea turtles on Monday and Tuesday alone.
