Recreational Adult Team Soccer

My (Carrie) failure to have not have kept up with our early sponsors. The Beer Authority was our first, and powered by Burc's kindness.

Happy that ECS discovered the awesomeness of this man.

We had recently revived sponsorships for tournaments, our first one being held this past summer, and guess who was amongst the first to help.

We have some sad news to share of one of our friends and sponsors:

To the Pub League Family,

Last Friday, Burc McFarlen, the owner and operator of Beer Authority in Lake City, suffered a heart attack. Late Tuesday he was taken off life support and passed away peacefully surrounded by several of his close friends.

Burc was a loud and proud sponsor and supporter of Pub League, an ECS member, and a champion of Seattle soccer in general. Among the items he took with him when he passed was his first ECS scarf.

He was a massive part of the community. He was a beacon of joy and hope. He looked after our unhoused neighbors and fought to make our neighborhood a better place for everyone.

We don’t yet have information about a memorial service, but the community has been keeping Beer Authority open, and friends have been gathering there to toast the Big Guy and share stories and memories. Please feel free to stop by and do the same.

Burc was one of my great friends, and I am happy that so many of you were able to meet him and spend time in his quirky little beer bar. I will move through this week with a heavy heart, but I cannot wait to take the field with you all on Sunday.

In the meantime we can all honor Burc’s memory by putting kindness and joy out into the world. Look out for one another. Spread love unconditionally.

And don’t drink beer with racists.

-Greg VB
