The Surfrider beer will be brewed at the beginning of May and launched the first week of June, quenching consumers thirst for the hot summer months. Vancouver Island Brewery will be donating 25¢ from every 650 mL bottle sold to the Surfrider Vancouver Island foundation to help aid in beach cleanups and awareness. “We live on an island; a very beautiful island, and as such we feel a strong connection to the environment and our beaches. Being a local craft brewery we feel it is our duty to pitch in where we can and help outstanding groups such as Surfrider Vancouver Island and its many initiatives” Said Rob Ringma, General Manager at Vancouver Island Brewery.

“Surfrider Vancouver Island is very excited to be partnering with Vancouver Island Brewery on the support brew. This is a dynamic initiative that provides both meaningful financial support for our programs and campaigns and valuable outreach. A tasty beer is a great way to connect with the local community and get the word out about Surfrider Foundation.” Said Lucas Harris, Vice Chairperson at Surfrider Vancouver Island.
