Wells, ME- Batson River Brewing & Distilling proudly announces the launch of Hook & Lager, a new American Lager crafted with a purpose. This special brew is more than just a beer; it’s a commitment to supporting the Wells Professional Firefighters in their tireless battle against cancer. Proceeds from every sale of Hook & Lager will directly contribute to essential cancer screenings, offering vital support to those who courageously serve and safeguard our community.
Reflecting on this initiative, Operation Director Jon Quade remarks, “It’s a profound opportunity for us to give back to our local Maine community in a deeply meaningful manner. Every cent generated will directly fund critical cancer screenings for our dedicated first responders. There’s no cause more deserving of our support. Additionally, the unwavering dedication of the Wells Professional Firefighters throughout the brewing process underscores their integral role in bringing this beer to fruition.”
