The Great Brown LemonAID
Woolloongabba's Easy Times Brewing Company is putting on karma kegs and hosting a day-long fundraiser to raise cash for flooded Brisbane breweries.
Overview
Not only pouring copious amounts of beer, but also making yeasty, boozy tipples, breweries are the kind of place where liquid usually flows freely. That's all well and good when it's in a pint, but it's obviously devastating when its from floodwaters — as a number of Brisbane joints have experienced in the past few weeks.
Milton Common, Newstead Brewing Co, Range, Parched, Brewtide and Fonzie Abbott all sadly know this story, as does Granddad Jack's Distillery — because flooding doesn't care what kind of alcohol you prefer. So, to help raise money for the folks affected, Woolloongabba's Easy Times Brewing Company is putting on karma kegs and hosting a day-long fundraiser. It's your latest excuse to drink beer for a great cause, it's called The Great Brown LemonAID and it's happening from 11.30am on Saturday, March 12.
Ten taps will be dedicated to the event, and there'll be kegs from each flooded brewery. Whatever you choose to drink, the funds will be pooled and split evenly, however.
You can also nab limited-edition growlers designed by Thirsty Merchants, or one of ten numbered Golden Growlers — and there'll be an auction both online and live on the day, with prizes including Brisbane Lions VIP tickets, a stay in Maleny and winning your height in Stone & Wood beer.
