Craft beer enthusiasts and dog lovers alike can come together for a frothy good cause with Uncle Bear's Brewery's annual "Pints For Paws" campaign. This unique fundraising effort supports the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) by selling special merchandise and, of course, beer. Uncle Bear's owner Todd Carrey and Rob Fulber, executive director of the Arizona Craft Brewers Foundation, recently highlighted the initiative in an interview with azfamily.com.
To show your support for the cause, you can head to any of Uncle Bear's six locations throughout the Valley. Here, patrons can purchase Pints For Paws shirts and enjoy craft brews that contribute to the fundraiser's efforts. From Gilbert to Queen Creek, each Uncle Bear's Brewery is participating in the program, giving animal advocates a chance to raise their glasses for a good cause. Specifics on the event, including addresses and phone numbers to the various brewery locations, are detailed by azfamily.com.
This charitable endeavor comes on the heels of Uncle Bear's growing acclaim in the local craft beer scene. Having started as a restaurant in 2000, Uncle Bear's evolved to brewing its own award-winning beer. Head brewer Drew Ortega continually experiments with new styles and ingredients, as evidenced by Uncle Bear's Ocean Beach West Coast IPA's bronze medal win at the Arizona Craft Beer Awards. These accomplishments were highlighted in a recent episode of the Brewery Spotlight Podcast, featured on PHOENIX magazine's podcast feed.
The podcast episode not only showcases Uncle Bear's brewing prowess but also delves into their philanthropic efforts through the Pints for Paws program. Insights into the challenges and triumphs facing modern brewers also add depth to the conversation. The episode, along with additional content such as a photo gallery from the 2022 ACBA Festival, can be found on PHOENIX magazine. Listeners and viewers have multiple platforms to access the podcast, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the magazine's YouTube page, ensuring the story of Uncle Bear's blend of craft and cause is widely available for consumption.
