Kannah Creek Brewing Company is excited to announce for the second year in a row a portion of the spring seasonal Crossed Irons Irish Ale case sales will benefit the CO Chapter of the Terry Farrell Firefighter Fund! Last year Kannah Creek raised $1,058 for the Terry Fund.
The Terry Fund uses donations to help firefighters injured or killed in the line of duty, a firefighter family member that is sick, or the fund might provide resources for a smaller volunteer department with no money for training or equipment.
“The Colorado Chapter of the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund has been able to donate over $100,000 to Colorado firefighters and their families for medical needs, education, tools and equipment,” states Board Member, Doug Lee. “Without the generous support of companies like Kannah Creek we would be unable to fulfill the many requests for assistance throughout the year.”
Kannah Creek Brewing Company’s interest in helping Colorado firefighters began in 2008 when a local firefighter, a regular at the brewpub, was diagnosed with leukemia. The owners wanted to get involved so they changed the name of a seasonal offering known as Monument Red to Crossed Irons Irish Ale (referring to firefighter hand tools; the flathead axe and halligan bar). A portion of the Crossed Irons sales were then donated to the firefighter and his family to help cover medical expenses. A benefit was also held at the brewpub. With the inaugural bottling of the Crossed Irons last year it only felt right to continue giving back with this beer.
The Crossed Irons is a traditional red ale with medium malt body and light hop bitterness. It has an ABV of 5.2% and an IBU of 30. It will be available in Colorado through April 2015.
