Cognition brewery along with UPAWS and Iron Bay Restaurant and Drinkery in Marquette released a limited edition blueberry beer this weekend.

It's called Margie's Journey Blueberry Wheat, in honor of a lovable three year old pug-beagle-dachshund mix.

Gwen Hutchinson, Marketing Coordinator at Iron Bay says if you’re interested in tasting the beer, you’d better stop by soon.

"Cognition Brewery specifically made this as part of a fundraiser with UPAWS. So we only have two kegs worth of 'Margie's Journey' here. So as soon as it's gone, it's gone. But we're doing this as a fundraiser and to kick off blueberry festival because we're really excited for Blueberry Festival on Friday," exclaimed Hutchinson.

Margie the dog was recently rescued from a shelter in Missouri just one day before she was scheduled to be euthanized.

But our friends at UPAWS together with the adopting family saved her and even named the limited edition blueberry beer after her and her incredible journey.

Cori Tossava, Executive Director of UPAWS says these types of fundraisers are always a huge success.

"We've had cats featured. We've had dogs featured. We've had dogs memorialized, dogs that have passed as a way to honor their memory. So we just want to be able to keep telling these stories in a very unique way, pretty much over a glass of beer and a great story,” remarked Tossava.

One dollar from every pint of Margie's Journey Blueberry Wheat went to UPAWS for day-to-day operations.

All proceeds from each $10 T-shirt sold also went directly to UPAWS in order to keep them up and running.
