Two Westside neighbors – New Holland Brewing The Knickerbocker and the Grand Rapids Fire Department Bridge Street Fire Station – have crafted a unique collaboration fundraiser beer benefitting the Great Lakes Burn Camp.
The Great Lakes Burn Camp exists to provide a unique experience that promotes healing, self-esteem, confidence, and general well-being for burn injured children. The camp operates entirely on donations and fundraisers. These donations allow the campers to come for a week of summer camp and a 4-day winter camp with no out-of-pocket expense to their parents.
This collaboration between The Knickerbocker and the Bridge St. Fire Station exists to raise funds to allow Great Lakes Burn Camp to operate and continue to support as many burn injured children as possible.
The beer itself, named by the Bridge St. Fire Station, is called ‘Hose 'er Down’. A Red Pale Ale, this beer is an easy-drinking pale ale with balanced, hop-forward flavor and a fiery red hue.
On Wednesday, October 11, at The Knickerbocker, there will be a launch party for this special collaboration beer. $1 from every Hose ‘er Down sold (as long as the beer is on tap) + 10% of food bills the day of the launch party will go toward Great Lakes Burn Camp. Those who come to the release also have the opportunity to meet & mingle with local firefighters and learn more about the Great Lakes Burn Camp.
