Five Durham Craft Breweries Partner with Habitat to Build a Home Out of Beer
Durham, NC - On Wednesday, February 10th, at 5:30pm FullSteam Brewery will host the release of We CAN Build It Round #2. Brewery owners and brewers will be there to share samples of the latest We CAN Build It specialty beers.
The We CAN Build It CANpaign (get it?) is all about local craft brewers giving back to the city they love. Durham’s five craft breweries - Bull City Burger and Brewery, Bull Durham Beer Co., Fullsteam Brewery, Ponysaurus Brewing and Triangle Brewing Company - have joined forces to create a series of 6-packs to raise the funds to build a Habitat for Humanity of Durham home. Each 6-pack contains five 32 ounce cans of specialty beer that is not usually available in cans and a Durham Habitat pint glass.
They’ll raise $50,000 to sponsor a Habitat home by releasing five rounds of 100 6-packs. Round #1 was release the week of Christmas 2015, Round #2 will be released February 10th at FullSteam, Round #3 will be released in June in partnership with The Durham Co Op Market, Round #4 will be released in September at Ponysaurus Brewing, and Round #5 will be released just before Christmas.
This unique partnership is a hit with donors and beer-drinkers! Quotes from a few supporters:
Ross said, "This is a great cause that is supported by the vibrant and cooperative craft beer industry. I'm proud to support affordable housing efforts and get a great reward for doing so. However, the best reward is knowing that I helped put a roof over someone's head."
Glenn said, “Beer and homes for good folks. Say no more!”
Travis said, “This is exactly how community businesses ought to be supporting the local community.”
