Brew sells out and raises $20,000 for farming recovery fund
When Gisborne’s Sunshine Brewery released a first of its kind charity fundraising beer in May, they didn’t expect the sell-out response.
Two hundred cases of 440ml cans of Cyclone Gabri Ale, a Red India Pale Ale (IPA), were distributed to their usual retail outlets throughout the North Island, along with kegged tap beer available at several bars in Wellington, Auckland and of course, the Taproom at the Sunshine Brewery in Awapuni Road.
The ale sold out within a month of distribution and raised a noteworthy $20,000. All proceeds were donated to the Gisborne Tairāwhiti Farming Recovery Fund (GTFRF), with a further $660 donated from a Givealittle page.
