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:

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
