The Iron Horse Brewery is teaming up with the Icicle Brewing Company to raise money for Washington state residents who were affected by several fires in the area — Carlton Complex, Snag Canyon, Chiwaukum Complex and South Cle Elum Ridge fires. They released a Beer vs Fire branded 22oz bottle to help raise money for wildfire victims

“The fundraising portion is designed to be simple”, said Jared Vallejo, Marketing Director at Iron Horse Brewery. “For every purchase of specially marked ‘Beer vs Fire’ bottles the producing brewery will contribute $1.00 toward the fund.” said Vallejo. The goal for the fundraising efforts to raise $12,000. “It’s an ambitious goal”, commented Pam Brulotte, Owner of Icicle BrewingCompany “but we believe with the support of our wholesale partners and retailers this canhappen.” The funds will be directed to the local Red Cross, specifically designated for the fires.
