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 an O-Pee-Chee Lager (Ides of January 2019) by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinSimple & balanced pale lager that served well to cut the heat of some spicy Chinese food. Sometimes that’s all you really need.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Brett by The Six Brewing Co. at The Six Brewing Co.Nicely balanced between fruity & funky Brett characteristics. Melon, Mayer lemon, touch of bandaid. Fairly dry finish. Good stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking an I Swear Sugarpants, It Was Your Idea 2019 by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinNot sure why there are separate annual entries for this beer, but I’ll go with it. Has cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla & cream notes as promised.
- Greg C. is drinking a Low Voltage by Powerhouse Brewing Company at King & DufferinClean & simple golden ale. Needs a bit more body to be a true cream ale, IMO, but still a well-crafted thirst-quencher.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ryevalry Roggenbier by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinFruity esters and sweet malt dominate, with earthy/peppery rye providing a nice backnote. Hint of banana bread as well. Nicely done.
