Reuben’s Brews of Seattle, Washington is stepping up to help raise funds for Australian wildfire relief. Proceeds from the sales of its popular Crickey IPA will help benefit WIRES Emergency Fund. Please read the announcement below or more details.
Crikey, we need to help Australia!
Drinking Reuben’s Crikey IPA will help animal victims of the Australian wildfires Seattle, WA (1/30/20) – During the week of February 3rd through 9th, Reuben’s Brews is supporting Australian fire recovery efforts by donating a portion of sales from all Crikey IPA pints and 6-packs sold through their Ballard tasting rooms as well as all packages and kegs of Crikey IPA sold through their distributors. Donations benefit WIRES Emergency Fund, which supports wildlife relief efforts in New South Wales.
Australia is still fighting a series of unprecedented and horrible bushfires in a period of extreme draught. Dozens of lives have been lost, hundreds of homes have burned, and some estimates say up to 1 billion animals have been lost since September. In the face of this disaster, Reuben’s Founders Adam and Grace Robbings, who count many Aussies among their friends, knew they needed to help.
“Crikey is a common expression in England. My mum and dad say it all the time, which is how we came up with the beer’s name,” said Co-Founder Adam Robbings. “It’s also an everyday expression among Australians, and since Crikey IPA is our most popular beer, donating a portion of Crikey sales to support the fire recovery efforts feels like the right way for us to help.”
To participate in this effort, find Crikey IPA at your local grocery or bottle shop between February 3rd and February 9th or stop by for a pint at one of Reuben’s two tasting rooms in Ballard. Public donation stations will also be available during the week at both Reuben’s locations.
