Lakefront looks to a variety of ways to fundraise for the school’s eco-friendly playground renovation designed by community partner, Reflo

LAKEFRONT BREWERY PARTNERS WITH RIVERWEST ELEMENTARY TO RAISE IMPORTANT FUNDS FOR THEIR STUDENTS

The local brewery’s Ripple Effect donation program continues to look for ways to better the community around them. Starting August 13^th, they will begin their initiative to help raise funds to redevelop a greener, healthier, and safer schoolyard for the students of Riverwest Elementary. “We want to help the youth in our community feel valued and worthy of a proper place outside of their school to partake in activities that nurture their full potential”, says Liz Mauritz, Lakefront’s donation program coordinator.

Riverwest Elementary has partnered with local nonprofit, Reflo, who has designed a renovation to the school’s outdoor space that will remove 27,200 square feet of asphalt and replace it with new green space and mixed-use recreation and educational areas. The plan would manage approximately 137,615 gallons of stormwater per rain event and provides much safer play for the kids. Learn more about the project by going here: https://refloh2o.com/riverwest-elementary

Much like their famous, “Putin is a Dick” crowler initiative for relief in Ukraine, they are now selling specially designed “Fund the Fun” crowlers. Lakefront will match an added $5 cost to make a $10 total donation for each “Fund the Fun” crowler sold. Crowlers are 32-ounce cans that can be filled and sealed with any Lakefront beer on tap. “Fund the Fun” crowlers are available in person or by ordering ahead for pick up through their website. Additionally, for the entire month of September, Lakefront patrons may opt to round up their bill to donate to the cause.

The marquee fundraising event will be an Adult Spelling Bee at Lakefront Brewery Beer Hall on Thursday, September 19^th. Lakefront will welcome teams to purchase a table and participate in a bar trivia-style spelling bee where they will work together to properly spell each challenging word. Tables will cost $120 (plus fees) and teams will be allowed up to 6 total people to compete. All table costs will be donated to the project as well as $1 of every beer purchased that day. The top 3 teams will take home Lakefront gift cards as prizes. Funds from a silent auction featuring an array of items will also be donated to the project that night, including a signed Damian Lillard jersey and basketball!

The event will get underway at 5:30PM with the Spelling Bee beginning at 6:30PM. Lakefront welcomes all to stop by and get involved, guests are not required to have a spelling bee table to enter. Table reservations are available through this link: https://www.exploretock.com/lakefront-brewery/event/497996/adult-spelling-bee-fund-the-fun

Riverwest Elementary has indicated that the redevelopment will cost over $200,000, so they hope the community can rally around the project and participate at any level within their means.

Can’t make it down to Lakefront but still want to show your support? Visit this link to donate directly to the initiative: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?id=1&name=E252729

Lakefront Brewery, Inc. distributes its products to over 30 states, Ukraine, Canada, Sweden, and Denmark. Lakefront Brewery is the first brewery in Wisconsin and 22^nd brewery in the world to be certified as a B Corporation. Lakefront Brewery also produced the first beer in the United States made from 100% in-state-grown ingredients, including a first-of-its-kind, indigenous Wisconsin yeast strain (Wisconsinite Summer Weiss), the first certified organic brewery and the first gluten-free beer granted approval by the U.S. Government (New Grist).

Sunday Funday at Lost Barrel Brewing

This Sunday – July 21st, 2024 – Lost Barrel Brewing will be hosting a ‘Sunday Funday’. Located at 36138 Little River Tpke, Middleburg, VA 20117, the beautiful brewery will be hosting an event that will help sponsor the National MS Society and Bike MS.

(Amy and I traveled down to Virginia to visit the brewery during a previous similar event back in 2022. It is a beautiful brewery with wonderful beers and food.)

The advertisement mentions “Beer, Hard Seltzer, and Delicious Food”. If you scan the QR code on the picture it will take you to a donate to Bike MS page.

The event will last from 12 PM (noon) until 4 PM on Sunday, July 21st, 2024 at Lost Barrel Brewing.

MS

Multiple Sclerosis is a relentless disease that when a patient is finally diagnosed it impacts entire families. There is currently no cure or way to repair the damage MS has already done by the time a DMT is given to the patient. The multiple sclerosis community will always have support from The Beer Thrillers. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to connect on any future non – profit fundraising events at breweries.

Hops and Vines for Hunger

Please Join Us

Please come out and join us. In addition to getting a great meal (Troegs Brewing did just release their new fall menu) and some wonderful beers you also get to help a wonderful cause like the Hops and Vines for Hunger.

Hops and Vines for Hunger

The following comes from their campaign (Our Programs) page:

Pennsylvania boasts over 800 breweries and wineries combined across the state — and that number is growing. But just as these numbers are increasing, so are the number of food insecure families and individuals across Pennsylvania. In fact, nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians struggle with hunger every day – including nearly 500,000 children.

That’s why Feeding Pennsylvania, PA Eats, and Breweries in PA are joining forces with local breweries and wineries across the state through Hops & Vines for Hunger — a month-long, statewide fundraiser throughout November. The campaign will aim to:

Raise funds to maximize the work of Feeding Pennsylvania’s 9 member food banks and serve Pennsylvanians facing hunger;

Support the development of nutrition education resources created by PA Eats to educate food-insecure Pennsylvanians on how to prepare simple, accessible meals with affordable, healthy ingredients commonly found in food pantries;

Promote the support of local breweries and wineries across the Commonwealth.

First Sip Brew Box Has Teamed Up With Kweza Craft Brewery

BKline — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 01:40:00 +0000

Kweza Craft Brewery from Rwanda

Kweza Craft Brewery

Today is Giving Tuesday, and theres no better time then to bring up on the blog about ‘Kweza Craft Brewery’ in Rwanda. Firstly, you can go directly to there IndieGoGo site and give a donation right here: Kweza Brewing on IndieGoGo. You can read about their story from IndieGoGo here:

We’re Rwanda’s first craft beer brewery. We’re women owned, led, brewed, and cheffed. We make beers that are delicious, and tell a story – from the roots of African women making sorghum beer, to using local crops and plants such as sorghum, ginger, mangoes, and jasmine to make a variety of light ales, IPAs, stouts, with more variety to come.
Women have traditionally made beer in most cultures around the world, but not been able to benefit from that creation and lineage at the commercial level. Kweza aims to have women running all aspects of the business. Our goal is that women have the profit from the product they’ve always made, and can build generational wealth on that history. Learn more about how we’re accomplishing this on our website and by watching this webinar we held on Women Brewing Beer in History, Africa, and Rwanda (with Kweza Craft Brewery) .
In 2016, Fina Uwineza, a Rwandan entrepreneur, and Steve Beauchesne, CEO of Beau’s Brewery, launched a Kickstarter to fund the purchase of a bottling line. We’ve grown the project, purchased a bottling line AND an entire brewery worth of equipment! Read and watch more of the original Kickstarter here!
Kweza on IndieGoGo

First Sip Brew Box

While on my trip through New Jersey (while actually being on the ferry) I reached out to Dennis Guy and he quickly responded, about how First Sip brew Box is helping Kweza Craft Brewery. They are working on distributing world wide merchandise for the brewery, as well as helping their crowd funding efforts. As per their marketing brochure on a Google Doc, they are “handling the fulfillment of brewery swag for Kweza brewery.” First Sip is also working with artists to help create merchandise for the project as well.

The Beer Thrillers Getting the Word Out, and How You Can Help

We will be doing more articles in the near future, including our donation, and what all goes into that donation, and what that donation does for the brewery and its upstart. We are looking to do several articles spaced out in the near future, and hopefully some interviews as well (with brewers, builders, and workers on the project). Please stay tuned.

Pilger Ruh Brewing Needs Your Help

BKline — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 02:00:00 +0000

The new home of Pilger Ruh Brewing

Pilger Ruh Brewing is currently looking for your help. They have finally found the location for their future home, in Pottsville Pennsylvania, they just need your help to get this dream up off the ground and get those taps flowing.

As with any older building, its going to need a lot of renovations, innovations, changes, and modifications to get it turned into a thriving business… let alone a bustling brewery. Which is one of the great thing about craft breweries – turning old buildings into brand new beautiful rustic but modern restaurants and breweries. Look at how Rubber Soul has turned the old police station (borough office building) in Hummelstown into their brewery. Or how Tattered Flag renovated their old building in Middletown. Its a common theme for many breweries; take an old building in a town they like, and renovate and modify it to meet their needs. It preserves the building, gives the brewery a unique look, helps the town, and helps the brewery. Seems like a win all around right?

Right.

So let’s help out Pilger Ruh Brewing get the money they need so they can do the same in Pottsville!

How can you help? Well, its really simple. Similar to a GoFundMe page, they have a indigogo page. You go there, donate what you can, and it all adds up. Want to help Pilger Ruh Brewing out and help them hit their goals and meet their dreams? Click here to donate: Pilger Ruh Brewing IndieGoGo Page.

Pilger Ruh Brewing

Why should you help out?

Well…. firstly, you would be helping a brand new brewery start up. You would be helping brewers, community members, friends, and family meet their dreams and achieve their goals. And secondly… you’ll get some perks out of it too!

Some perks include: free t-shirts, hoodies, limited edition glasswear, tickets to conventions, discounts on mug club memberships, getting to name some of their fermenters and tanks, brewing with them, hats, and getting to name some of their beers.

Thats a lot of incentive just right there to help them out.

Want to read their story? (You can go to their IndieGoGo page to read it) or read the following:

“Pilger Ruh Brewing is a new craft brewery coming to Schuylkill County PA! The whole dream started three years ago in the summer of 2017 when owners Tyler Budwash, Anthony Deppen, Conlan Budwash, along with friends Matt and Alex started brewing together. We quickly joined the beer festival circuit and received great reviews from consumers all over the state. Our brewery has over 14 years of combined brewing experience and we plan to bring great local beers of all styles to Pottsville PA in 2021! Co-Owner Tyler has been homebrewing since 2013, started the Schuylkill County Brew Fest, and has been to over 250 different breweries in the US, a graduate of Kutztown University where he has a BA in Political Science. He currently lives in Schuylkill County with his 2 children and girlfriend Corine. Co-Owner Anthony Deppen has been homebrewing since 2017, world traveled professional wrestler, currently lives in New Cumberland PA with his wife Cassidy where they are expecting their first child in November 2020. Head Brewer Conlan Budwash has been the assistant brewer at Snitz Creek the last 4 years, worked at Troegs Brewing Company the last 5 years, lives in Pine Grove, and graduated from the Brew Science course through HACC.
We started this campaign to help raise some money to cover additional renovations to complete our taproom and gain some extra working capital upon opening. (we aren’t asking for a lot). Getting this brewery off the ground has been financially challenging for us, but we have faith that we can make this work no matter what the situation is. Instead of asking for money outright, we want to offer you a number of different options where you gain something as well. No matter what you decide to give we are very appreciative of you for that and each and every person that has supported us on this journey.
Our goal is to raise at least $25,000 to complete our renovations (floors, walls, bathrooms, reinforcing the basement etc). As we said earlier, we want to offer you something for helping us. Some of the perks we have lined up are limited edition glasses, shirts, deals on mug club memberships, naming tanks, brewing with us, exclusive beers, hoodies, hats, free tickets to events ran by us and more! We set our goal a bit higher than we wanted to, so no matter what amount we reach, ALL proceeds will be going into getting the taproom ready for early next year.
The brewery plans to be very community oriented, which is why we chose to move our operations to Pottsville PA. We want to bring something new to the area and help it gain more traction and give back to the community as much as we could. Five years ago there weren’t any actual craft breweries in Schuylkill County, now after we open there will be technically six. Anyone that has had our beers over the last 3.5 years knows what to expect when we open, and that’s quality beers. Our beers have been speaking for themselves at each and every event and we plan to continue that quality when we open next year.
We are aware that starting a new business comes with a ton of risks, especially when it comes to beer. I mean we could fail in a year and be gone, but we will not let that happen because we cannot fail and we will not fail. We chose the not so expensive route for all of our equipment, we bought things that made sense with our budget, not dropping thousands of dollars to look good or buy huge name brands. This project has been trying to get off the ground for 2 years now, we were unable to obtain funding from quite some time before we were able to save up a lot of our own money and gain a small SBA loan for our equipment. Unfortunately COVID19 set up back a few months with getting our plans and permits ready, but we are now ready to go. We’re very happy to be in the situation we are in now and want to finish up renovations so we can open and start paying back all of our debts. Every last penny will be going towards the brewery, whether it be our glassware or something as small as a floor mat.
If our perks aren’t something you’re interested in you can still help. We would greatly appreciate you sharing our Facebook page and inviting all of your friends to like it. Give us a Like on Instagram, tell all your friends and family about us, and when we open come say hi!
Thank you!
-Tyler, Tony, and Conlan”

The building’s location is 213 N. Centre Street in Pottsville, PA. They have quite a few renovations they need to do to make the building into a brewery. Namely flooring, walls, reinforcing the basement, drainage, ditches, new bathrooms, etc.

Their current goal is 25,000$. As of posting time (9.23.20 – 10PM) they are up to 3,468$. So there is a ways to go, and every penny will help add up!

You most likely have met, known, or heard of Pilger Ruh Brewing, or the Budwash brothers from the various events and brewfests. They are typically a staple at the Litiz, Mount Hope, Lancaster, and Schukyll Brewfests (they actually run the Schukyll Brewfest). They are also usually seen at Ffej of July, at the Kegs and Eggs at Rotunda, and many other events, brewfests, and charity events. They have been working at Troegs Brewing and Snitz Creek Brewery, behind the scenes things, and as of now, brewing for Snitz Creek. You can also find their own Pilger Ruh beers on tap at the Snitz Creek Annville (the old Funck’s – right next to the Fort Indiantown Gap Cemetery) location.

I’ve gotten to know all three quite well over the years, from different events, from the Central PA Whalerz, from Tyler’s love of the civil war, all three’s love for professional wrestling (Anthony Deppen is actually a professional wrestler – Tony Deppen – who wrestles for promotions such as Ring of Honor [ROH], amongst many others), and their collaborations with Tattered Flag.

They are all a bunch of great dudes, so let’s help them make this happen. The world needs more great beers and more great breweries and brewers. So lets band together and help them out!

You can follow them on their Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
