“There’s an event Thursday evening that’s worthy of your attendance, and even if it’s not 100 percent about beer, beer’s a big part of it. The money you spend to attend this rewarding event will provide direct financial aid to Doctors Without Borders. The organization is providing care and saving lives in Ukraine right now.”

Learn more about the beer, mead & other libations that will be part of tonight’s event in today’s ’Beer By James (Dr.Fermento) Roberts’ column from Anchorage Press.

Special thanks to Matanuska Brewery and Tap Room, Palmer and Two Seasons Meadery for being part of the event.

Thank you to Two Seasons Meadery for donating their Kazimiera Mead which uses Ukrainian Wildflower honey. 🇺🇦

This Thursday Anchorage Friends of Ukraine will be holding a fundraiser to help the citizens of Ukraine who are fighting and fleeing for their lives from this unprovoked assault from Russia. We will be donating our Kazimiera Mead which uses Ukrainian Wildflower honey. Proceeds from the event will go to the organizations of "Doctors without Borders", and "Mission:Ukraine".

Please strongly consider donating to this cause even if you cannot make it to the event. This war has displaced and killed so many innocents. The people who are left after it is all over will need significant aid to rebuild and put their lives back together.
