...to their local brewery.Breweries contribute thousands of dollars every year through philanthropic acts. They are responsible for raising tens of thousands of dollars every year for non-profit organizations. They are responsible for donating hundreds of dollars in product to silent auctions. They are instrumental in organizing events, which raise millions of dollars throughout the state.

Brewers understand that it is their obligation to develop their own approach to connecting with customers and the community. In Europe, one would be hard pressed to find a town without a brewery. In California, the majority of the populations live within 10 miles of a brewery. Brewers know that the people who come to their brewery want to be connected to the brewer. It is a sense of local pride.
Beer is the most social beverage ever made since the inception of civilization. Games are fought and won over it. Elections are lost over it. Events are celebrated with it. Our declaration of independence was probably written under it. Our founding fathers brewed it. I even read somewhere that the only reason why the English dropped anchor is because they ran out of it.
The point is, in tough times a town, a community; a city is drawn together over a pint of beer. By supporting our local breweries, we support and strengthen our breweries. Drink more beer and our brewers will be able to continue to support our communities. Drink more beer and we preserve the events and festivals and non-profit organizations in our communities.
Support your community. Support your local brewery.
Sorry, at the time of this writing drinking beer is not a tax write off.
