Meanwhile, Schoolhouse Brewery in Windsor, N.S., has begun creating a series of brews to support local community organizations. The first is dubbed the Community Stout and 100 per cent of proceeds will be going to the Matthew 25/Windsor Food Bank.
Cameron Hartley, who is with the brewery, says they know firsthand about the financial toll of the pandemic.
The taproom had to close its doors for 10 weeks during the first wave and once again during the second wave. It recently re-opened on Feb. 24. In a bid to help others, he says they reached out to the local food bank because they’re aware food insecurity is an issue for families in the province.
“It’s been hard for us but we’ve still had food on our table,” he said.
“We’re not in a position to be able to sign over a big cheque but we are in a position to use what we do to make a beer in support of the food bank and to not only just generate funds for the food bank but generate awareness.”
Both beers are available for sale at their respective breweries.
