Alberta Brewers Unity Brew for Charity
Saturday October 24, 2009
Brewers from the micro-breweries of Alberta will unite in Canmore, Alberta at The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company to produce "Alberta brewers UNITY BREW”, a beer for charity.
Brainstorm of Michele Lowney, Brew Master at The Paw, this planned yearly charitable brew will bring Alberta brewers together to showcase the talent and diversity of fresh micro-brewed beer. Taking input from every brewer the brewers have decided to brew a Dark Rye India Pale Ale for 2009.
11 brewers from every part of Alberta will brew 2000 litres of Unity Brew for this year. Each brewer/brewery will receive 3 x 50 litre kegs to sell at their establishment. All proceeds from the sale of the beer will go to each brewery's individual charity of choice.

the art of brewing!
Very exciting! The folks in Jasper have been open to go one step further...when the new brew is ready the posters and advertisements in town will showcase not only the art of the brew...but the art of a local artist!! The call is out this week for artists to come up with an image to represent this Unity Brew. How about the other communities!? And then maybe out of each of those a best overall image could be chosen!!
Thanks Brett for your open reception to another idea from the folks at IOTAD...building bridges between the arts and community business!
