Drink for Ukraine
Drink up — a group of local venues is raising funds for Ukraine via three days of drink specials and charity taps.
Overview
Tatiana An (Rascal) and Ilya Apukhtin (Bandwagon Beverages) are two Melbourne-based hospitality veterans with Russian heritage who've been watching as the war unfolds overseas. So, they've teamed up with some much-loved local hospo mates to plan a special fundraiser that'll see Melburnians putting their weekend drinks towards a great cause.
From Friday, April 8–Sunday, April 10, Drink for Ukraine will raise important funds for two charity organisations — Razom for Ukraine (a group that assists displaced Ukranians) and OVDinfo (an organisation that's been helping Russians being arrested for speaking out against the war).
Across all three days, a group of participating venues will be running charity taps and slinging drink specials in support of the cause, with the help of product donations from the likes of Hawkers Beer, West Winds Gin, Mismatch Brewing and Anther.
Joining the effort are: the CBD's Bar Clara and Miscellania; The Lincoln and Good Measure in Carlton; Collingwood brewery The Mill; Footscray favourites Bar Josephine and Baby Snakes; Rascal and Inner North Brewing in Brunswick; Preston's Takeaway Pizza; Fitzroy bars Catfish and The Elysian; and House of Plants in Abbotsford.
