TX’s Rahr & Sons Brewing Raises $15K for Two Nonprofits

Naval officers from the USS Fort Worth will receive the check at the brewery during its weekly tasting event on Saturday, June 17 from 1-3 p.m. Admission is $10, and attendees will receive a commemorative USS Fort Worth pint glass and three beer samples. The Fort Worth, a crisp and clean beer with a medium body and a mild citrus finish that is brewed with fresh lemon and lime peel, will be the featured beer on tap.

Additionally, Rahr & Sons has just reached its initial $10,000 fundraising goal for its newest nonprofit partnership with charity: water, which builds wells to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing parts of the world. The goal to raise the first $10,000 – the amount needed to build one well – began in March on World Water Day. Rahr & Sons now donates $1 from every mid-week tasting admission to charity: water, striving to help build as many wells as possible.

Since 2004, Rahr & Sons has raised more than $160,000 for numerous nonprofits through special events and hosting a different organization each week at Saturday tasting events at the brewery.

“Supporting our community is a key aspect of the Rahr & Sons’ mission statement,” said co-owner Erin Rahr. “We feel fortunate that our business growth has allowed our definition of community to expand with it, so we are able to have a positive impact on people around the world.”
