October 31, 2016CBB Editorial Staff

Bend, Oregon’s famous craft brewery and its second annual Street Pub event has made another giant impact in communities across the nation, and the folks at CBB would just like to say big ole congrats and job well done. Craft credo No. 3: Embrace philanthropy.

Deschutes Brewery’s Street Pub finished its second annual national tour this year by raising nearly $440,000 for charity. At each stop, the brewery partnered with local charities and donated 100 percent of proceeds to help those charities achieve their missions. With an estimated 140,000 beer fans who turned out to drink over 1,100 kegs of damn tasty beer, the Street Pub is collectively one of the largest beer festivals in the country.

“This was another epic year for Street Pub and we got to visit with fans in cities we love from one coast to another,” said Joey Pleich, field marketing manager for the brewery who runs the Street Pub program. “We raised $70,000 more for charity over last year’s numbers and saw twice as many in attendance. Success for this program means success for all the communities we visit and we are thankful to our many fans to coming out to support Street Pub.”
