About the beer:
Cantillon Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru was bottled in February 2018. Cantillon Bruocsella Grand Cru is a bottled old lambic released annually by Cantillon in various batches. It is one of the few examples of unadulterated lambic released in bottles by any commercial lambic producers. The lambic is matured for three years in oak barrels and bottled. The secondary market value on this beer appears to be between $100-$200 per bottle.

Why raffle beers for charity?
Except for a few strong voices the beer industry has been pretty silent on police violence disproportionately being directed at BIPOC. In an industry that is predominately white, there needs to be action behind the Black Squares whether it be denouncing white supremacy outright, protesting, actively striving to make an inclusive environment among your customers and employees, or donating to organizations that are helping bring about change. If we want our industry to be inclusive we need to make sure people from all backgrounds know they are welcome and that we are willing to speak out for change both internally in our industry and outward into the world.
These first two raffles (maybe there will be more) will benefit:
- Communities United for Police Reform (https://www.changethenypd.org/)
- Black Trans Advocacy Coalition (https://blacktrans.org/)
I encourage you to do some reading and learn more about these important organizations.
Winners & Donations:
Each week I will make a post with the handles of the winners & screen caps of the donations. Please give me a couple days to organize the donations from various payment methods, randomize, and fairly pick winners.
I currently have limited access to printers but will update the winners with estimated ship dates & send tracking numbers as soon as I have them.
