Fe-BREW-ary Fundraiser
Donnelly Group teams up with Postmark Brewing for delicious Fe-BREW-ary
fundraising
One dollar from every Postmark Kölsch poured will go to the Greater
Vancouver Food Bank
Fe-BREW-ary launches on Thursday February 1st at Donnelly
Group pubs, combining a rare and delicious craft beer and donations to a
great charity. For 2018, Donnelly Group has partnered with Postmark
Brewing to exclusively offer their limited-edition Postmark
Kölsch, the first beer of this style that they have ever brewed. Donnelly
Group will be donating $1 from every Postmark Kölsch sold to the Greater
Vancouver Food Bank, on behalf of the Donnelly Fund.
As
you might guess from the name, Kölsch is a German beer style which was
developed in Cologne (Köln) and first brewed in the early 1900s. At one time
the city of Cologne had more breweries than any other city in the world, and
its brewing traditions run deep. Kölsch is made with a unique process which
combines the top-fermentation of an ale and the cold-temperature conditioning
of a lager.
This
hybrid style, sometimes referred to as a “lagered ale” combines the clearness
and clean flavour of a lager with additional hops and malty flavours when
compared to a traditional lager. Postmark’s Kölsch comes in at 4.8% ABV with a
mild bitterness of 20 ibu. This delicious, sessionable beer will only be
found at Donnelly Group pubs.
The
Food Bank of Greater Vancouver is one of Donnelly Group’s key charitable
partners, through its foundation the Donnelly Fund. While Christmas brings a
wave of donations to the food bank, food security is a year-round issue in the
Lower Mainland, and Donnelly Group is pleased to be able to support this great
organization with events beyond the holiday season.
“Fe-BREW-ary
brings two of our favourite things together—BC craft beer and community,” said
Donnelly Group Beverage Director Trevor Kallies. “And we’re looking forward to
sharing another delicious exclusive beer in our pubs and raising more money to
support one of the causes that’s near and dear to our hearts.”
