So an old friend of mine from public school, Ryan Noel, has grown up (unlike me) and become an indie film maker. For his most recent project, Manuel Labour – Trash Collecting Garbage, he decided to tap into the crowdfunding trend right now. You can check out his kickstarter page here: http://www.manuellabour.com/

So we decided to partner up to encouraging giving, and put together a little incentive contest. Starting yesterday, and ending tomorrow, the highest donation on his kick-starter campaign will receive a gift pack furnished by me and some local breweries (and one distant one).

In the pack is the following:
-2 Denisons Weissebeir (474ml)
-2 Granville Island Robson St Hefeweisen (341ml)
-2 Stone Hammer Light (341ml)
-1 Great Lakes Harry Porter and the Bourbon-soaked Vanilla Beans (650ml, not pictured)
-1 Black Oak Ten Bitter years (341ml)
-1 Nickel Brook Headstock IPA (341ml)
-1 Denisons Weissebeir glass
-1 TAPS The Beer Magazine Great Ontario Pubs book
-1 Beaus All-Natural trucker hat
-1 Beaus All-Natural womens t-shirt
So get on over to the campaign site and donate. Not only will you have the chance to win a lovely gift pack, but you will be supporting Toronto-based indie film-making.

I regularly describe myself as an "ardent supporter of beer", which pretty well sums it up. While I'm not working or busy being a husband and dad (okay, honestly, sometimes while I'm doing those things), I am drinking beer, attending events, visiting pubs, and thinking about beer. I work at Castro's Lounge, my local bar in the Beach, where I host beer events and take part in most things beer-related.
