Alton, Illinois-based craft brewery, Old Bakery Beer, is partnering with Saint Louis Effort for AIDS in June just in time for Pride Month. Old Bakery's limited edition rainbow Citrus Wheat Pride can launches, June 1, and will be available while supplies last. $2 from every case will go to Saint Louis Effort for AIDS, along with $1 from every 4-pack sold at the brewery located at 400 Landmarks Blvd in Alton, Illinois.
“At Old Bakery Beer, we celebrate all people, all families, all love," Old Bakery Beer COO Lauren Pattan said. "We knew we wanted to do something to support our local LGBTQ community during Pride Month.”
According to Pattan, the timing of the collaboration is key.
“With the discrimination the LGBTQ community is currently facing in healthcare we knew that’s where we wanted to focus. Saint Louis Effort for AIDS has served thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS in the St. Louis region, and there are thousands more who aren’t actively engaged in care. Though small, we hope this collaboration will raise awareness and support STLEFA in their work.”
