LAFAYETTE — On Sunday afternoon, Angry Erik Brewing was in the process of totaling up the “pint-raiser” that it held for four days over Memorial Day weekend.
A $1 donation for each pint sold is to be given to aid The Chaplain Ernest M. Kosa Veterans Outreach Center in Franklin. The brewery opened in February 2014 and last week’s effort was the third and most successful fundraiser they have held to benefit veterans. They are located at 10 Millpond Drive, Unit 8 in Lafayette.
According to brewery employee Ashley Schreyer, the total collected was $475 after four days of collectioning. The center is located at 48 Wyker Road in Franklin.
For case management inquiries call 855-483-8466 and for counseling services call 973-827-4012. It offers case management, counseling services, presentations on veteran issues, and a safe and welcoming place for veterans to connect and help one another.
