HELPING HANDS PROJECT SERIES NO.5 - September 2022

The hard truth is that - in seizing their land, banning languages, forbidding spiritual practices, destroying political & social institutions, & by stealing their children with the intent to break the link to their culture & identity - Canada committed cultural genocide against Indigenous Peoples*. Acknowledging this shameful history & its legacy of harm is the first step towards reconciliation & a mutually respectful relationship between Indigenous Peoples & settlers in this country. Proceeds from HARD TRUTH, this tart and fruity dry-hopped sour - the 5th beer in our Helping Hands Series - aim to help Urban Native Youth Association - UNYA provide meaningful opportunities for Indigenous youth in the urban setting.

Donations to date: $2,352.50 to UNYA

HELPING HANDS PROJECT SERIES NO.4 - May 2022

“Always look your fellows in the eye when toasting their good health” - At the heart of what we do, this mantra means we accept each other no matter our diversity. We like to think of each beer as an opportunity to have a conversation with someone to better understand them & their perspective. The ALL & SUNDRY, an unconventional lager – with its slightly salty character & lime aroma - is the 4th beer in our Helping Hands project series & aims to help QMUNITY improve queer, trans & two-spirit lives.

Donations to date: $2,446 to Qmunity
