More beers coming to the rescue

New breweries join lupus charity campaign

In January, I launched a fundraising and awareness campaign for the Lupus Foundation of Southern California utilizing the quality wares of local brewing companies that volunteered to brew beers to raise proceeds for this year-long effort, which is called Beer to the Rescue.

When I first wrote about it, only a few beer-release event details were available. Now, the entire first half of the year is planned out, including the identities of the beers that will be offered. And, more good news — lots more breweries have signed up to participate.

Thanks to the additions of Bay City Brewing Company, Booze Brothers Brewing Company, Half Door Brewing Company, Kilowatt Brewing Company, Oceanside Ale Works, Pacific Islander Beer Company, Thorn St. Brewery, and Twisted Manzanita Ales, there are more than 40 events taking place in association with this campaign. Most of them involve individual beers that go beyond traditional brewing guidelines or a brewery’s current offerings. The following is the schedule from now through the end of June.
