HAMILTON, ON – Grain & Grit Beer Co. is getting set to release a new beer in support of a charity raising funds to fight a severe form of muscular dystrophy.
Max’s Big Beer is a Milkshake IPA with peach and vanilla, two favourite flavours of seven-year-old Max Sedmihradsky who inspired the beer.
Max has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and over the past three years he and his father Andrew have raised more than $140,000 for research into the disease through Max’s Big Ride, a 600 km trip from Hamilton to Ottawa that they take via cargobike each summer.
Max’s Big Beer will be going on sale at Grain & Grit in on June 10th, and 50 cents from each sale will be donated to the Gunning Group Lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga via the Jesse’s Journey charity.
For more details, see the Max’s Big Ride website and Grain & Grit Facebook page.
