Red Eye Red Ale
Brewed: 06/16/2017 Kegged: 07/23/2017
I raised money by telling people I would ride 660 miles during the month of June.
My newest LHBS ( Broadway Brew Supply) saw me on the social media sites begging for money and asked if they could get involved.
Ummmm ... sure ... yes ... of course.
I thought they meant they would share my page url on their social media sites. It turns out they had something much more awesome in mind.
Every month, Broadway Brew Supply does a thing that they call "Kits for Change". Basically, they partner with a local brewery and put together a home brew kit to clone one of the brewery's beers.
The proceeds from the sales of those kits go to charity.
For the Month of June 2017, they were nice enough to use "my" charity as the one the kits would benefit.
Of course I had to get one.
