RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Garden Grove Brewing Company has created a beer just for Richmond Public Schools.

The beer, called Old Virginia Spruce Porter, takes a bit of a historic twist, blending recipes originating between the 1700s and 1800s.

“We put together this rich molasses spruce tip porter and figured we’d release it on back to school weekend and the historical beer was us going back to old school so it was a fun tie-in and something we could get behind to support the schools,” John Paul Cheski, one of the managers at Garden Grove, said.

Scott Barnett of Building a Better RPS has been busy this summer fixing up over 20 schools and Garden Grove’s contribution has not gone unnoticed.

“We had done a previous event, we’re selling beer glasses. It’s called ‘Raise a Pint for the Kids’ and John Paul and his team reached out to us to get involved,” Barnett said.

“This was all Garden Grove’s creation of getting involved with helping out our systems.”Find 8News on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram; send your news tips toiReport8@wric.com.
