FINDLAY, Ohio — A good craft beer can quench your thirst, help you unwind and now, you can raise your glass to raise awareness about a big issue in America.
Findlay Brewing Company is selling a specially-brewed beer named Black is Beautiful.
FBC joins more than 1,100 breweries around the world who all collaborated to brew this Imperial Stout, using the same labeling all to raise money for local foundations that fight for racial equality.
"We're going to donate to the Black Heritage Library. The whole purpose of this collaborative effort is just to raise awareness of the plight of people of color, and to promote equality and inclusion," said Steve Treece, Co-owner of Findlay Brewing Company.
The base imperial stout recipe came from Weathered Souls Brewing in Texas, but the participating breweries could add their own touch.
Findlay Brewing added cold brew coffee from Fort Findlay coffee and vanilla.
Tuesday marked the end of the two-month long process of brewing the beer from scratch.
Steve knows his core craft beer lovers in the area will be happy to try out the new brew for a good cause.
"You can come into the tap room, have a pint, or you can get in a crowler can and take it home and enjoy it at home. It'll be on sale this week until we run out or longer if it doesn't run out," said Treece.
Findlay Brewing Company brewed 90 gallons of their Black is Beautiful imperial stout.
According to Steve, 90 gallons could run out in about two days, so anyone wanting to try the beer out will need to come fast to get their hands on some of this fundraising beer.
