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 Blurrryy by MERIT Brewing at King & DufferinCreamsicle notes to start, with grapefruit and pine sneaking up behind & coming on stronger as it warms up. Long bitter finish. Great!
- Greg C. is drinking a Hibiscus Sour by Side Launch Brewing at King & DufferinHibiscus & rosehip is a flavour combo I usually enjoy, and that’s def the case here, as both mesh well with the lemon-leaning base sour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Feels Like Friday by Royal Canadian Mead at King & DufferinBuckwheat honey sits in good balance on a cider-like base. But as with most hopped ciders, I question if hops are really needed in a mead.
- Greg C. is drinking a Daywalker by Rainhard Brewing at Duke's Refresher + BarSeems lighter than I remember in colour & body. Still packed with flavour though. Nice lingering lemon peel & pine notes.
- Greg C. is drinking an Edelhell by Hacker-Pschorr at Otto's BierhalleI’ve been getting into a lager groove lately, mostly locals, but it’s good to revisit the classics once in a while. Prost!
