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 Steadfast by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop BrewcoTicks all the boxes - dry roast malt, cocoa, hints of coffee & toasted nuts, bit of twiggy bitterness. A spot-on porter!
- Greg C. is drinking a Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
