“11.05” in support of JDRF Canada

Sawdust City Brewing is excited to announce the success of the “11.05” fundraiser that took place during the month of November.

November is diabetes awareness month and during that month, Sawdust City and Nickel Brook teamed up with the good folks from Crafting a Cure to help raise money for JDRF Canada with a beer called “11.05”.

Throughout the month of November, Sawdust City pledged to donate $1 from every 473mL can of “11.05” beer sold from the retail store and from every 12oz glass of “11.05” sold at the Saloon to Crafting a Cure. After calculating all the sales, Sawdust City is proud to announce that during the month of November, $1,200 was raised for Craft a Cure.

Sawdust City would like to thank Jeff and Cherie Lalonde for creating the Crafting a Cure event as well as all the good people who volunteered and helped to make such a fantastic event possible. Sawdust City would also like to thank everyone who came into the brewery and purchased “11.05” in support of Crafting a Cure.

“As a brewer I felt it was my duty to be a part of this wonderful charity. If I could use my position as a brewer to help fight this disease, in any capacity, well then I just had to do it,” said Sam Corbeil, brewmaster at Sawdust City Brewery. “Hopefully, our donation will help, in whatever way possible, in finding a cure and defeating this disease.”
