SPRINGFIELD - Part of the sales of the new Black is Beautiful stout beer from White Lion Brewing will be used to support the work of The Healing Racism Institute.
White Lion owner Ray Berry explained to Reminder Publishing that $5 of each bottle retailing for $20 would be donated to the institute to fund its work of education.
The new campaign and beer was announced on May 25.
Ryan McCollum, a member of the Institute’s board, said “We are really excited that White Lion chose us to benefit from the sales of Black is Beautiful.”
Berry said, “We are ecstatic to parlay what we believe will be a very sought after and exclusive beer into funds for a worthy cause that fulfills the original mission of the Black is Beautiful initiative. Healing Racism has had and continues to have an enormous impact on combating racism right here in Greater Springfield and are proud to support their efforts.”
The new stout is aged in Willett bourbon barrels for 18 months.
