Reunion Beer ‘09: A Beer for Hope

I believe this is the third year that Reunion Beer has been brewed; this time it is a Double White Ale. It will debut at Taco Mac locations this weekend. I’ve copied the information from the website below:

“REUNION – A Beer for Hope kicked off its 2009 fundraising campaign on April 30 with our first annual REUNION – A Day for Hope. April 30 is Reunion Co-Creator Virginia MacLean’s birthday. It was Virginia’s wish that we continue supporting The Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research and we know of no better way to commemorate her birthday. Can you make a donation to help get our 2009 campaign started? Even $5 or $10 can make a difference, as every dollar will go to IMBCR to support research.

The Beer
This year’s release will be a Double White Ale available in draught only. Bison Brewing in Northern California returns for a third year as a production and fundraising partner. Joining Bison this year as production partners are Elysian Brewing in Washington, Pizza Port in Southern California, and Terrapin Brewing in Georgia. Taco Mac restaurants throughout Georgia will feature Reunion starting July 24, 2009. Please check back for future events.

The Cause
Worldwide over 1,000 people per day are diagnosed with this cancer of the plasma. IMBCR is one of the world’s leading independent researchers. Their work not only affects myeloma patients, it also produces benefits in areas such as lymphoma and breast cancer.

We loved bringing Reunion beer in bottles to the market and hope to do that again starting in 2010. For now, the best way to support Virginia’s vision of bringing hope to others is for you donate the $5 or more you may have spent on pints or bottles of Reunion directly to IMBCR. Please visit the donation links on this page to help us make a difference.

Cheers!
Pete & Alan”
