Sleeping Giant Releases Grass Roots Lager in Support of Staal Family Foundation

THUNDER BAY, ON – tbnewswatch.com reports that Sleeping Giant Brewing has teamed up a well-known local family to raise funds for charity.

Grass Roots is a 4.4% abv “pre-prohibition lager” that supports the Staal Family Foundation, a charity founded by hockey-playing brothers Eric, Marc, Jordan, and Jared Staal to support children’s cancer organizations in Thunder Bay and surrounding region.

Named to refer to the sod-farming business owned by the brothers’ parents Henry and Linda Staal, Grass Roots will served at the Staal Foundation Open golf tournament in July, and will also be sold in cans at the brewery, and on tap and local bars and restaurants.

$1 from each four-pack of cans sold at the brewery will be donated to the Foundation, and most licencees have also committed to donating $1 for each pint sold.
