A local home brewer has teamed up with a popular Roanoke brewery to raise money for sick children.

Brad Wyatt has been brewing from home for a few years. He recently joined forces with Big Lick Brewing to brew a one-time specialty beer called "Dinner in Roanoke" with some of the proceeds going to the Children's Miracle Network.

It was enough of a hit that Wyatt and Big Lick were able to present a check to the charity worth more than $1,200.

"Lot of kids out there that are born into situations in which they have no control over you know what's happened to them physically, how things are," said Wyatt. "If you can help someone that is basically defenseless, I just think that's awesome."

In November, Southern Hills Homebrew gave over $547 to the Children's Miracle Network. Wyatt says they hope to continue with even bigger donations.
