OTTAWA, ON – Kichesippi Beer has started selling growlers of Kichesippi Natural Blonde out of their brewery store, making the draught-only beer available for home consumption for the first time.
The growlers will be filled to order, ensuring that the beer is as fresh as possible, and customers are being encouraged to bring the growlers back for refills.
More notably, 50 cents from the sale of each growler fill will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a cause important to Kichesippi owners Paul and Kelly Meek as their son has suffered from the disease since 2006.
To promote the launch of the growlers and fundraising campaign, Paul Meek appeared last Thursday on A Morning, the morning show on A Television in Ottawa:
