Reunion ‘09

This year’s release will be a Double Wheat Ale available in draught only. Bison Brewing in Northern California returns for a third year as a production and fundraising partner.  Joining Bison this year as production partners are Elysian Brewing in Washington, Pizza Port in Southern California, and Terrapin Brewing in Georgia.  Taco Mac restaurants throughout Georgia will feature Reunion starting July 24, 2009. Please check our Reunion Links section for updates on events and pub listings.

The Cause

Worldwide over 1,000 people per day are diagnosed with this cancer of the plasma. IMBCR is one of the world’s leading independent researchers. Their work not only affects myeloma patients, it also produces benefits in areas such as lymphoma and breast cancer.

We loved bringing Reunion beer in bottles to the market and hope to do that again starting in 2010. For now, the best way to support Virginia’s vision of bringing hope to others is for you donate the $5 or more you may have spent on pints or bottles of Reunion directly to IMBCR. Please visit the donation links on this page to help us make a difference.

Donate to the cause directly.
