INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY TAPPING: THANKS, IT HAS POCKETS

Early in February, we asked the awesome women that make up the majority of our staff come into the brewhouse to help brew the beer that they designed and named for International Women's Day 2019. "Thanks, It Has Pockets" is a blackberry lavender wheat ale that will make its debut in the taproom on Friday March 8th.

The beer will go on when we open at Noon. $1 from every full pour of this beer bought in our taproom will also go to the organization of their choosing, Artemis Center. The mission of this wonderful organization is "Leading the Community in Its Commitment to End Domestic Violence." The proceeds going to Artemis Center is not just for the event Friday, but for as long as the beer is available. So stop in while the beer lasts to support their cause.

About Artemis Center

In June 1985, a small group of women, often working without pay, started Artemis House (now Artemis Center for Alternatives to Domestic Violence) to provide advocacy services beyond the traditional housing and safety offered by battered women’s shelters. For over three decades, Artemis has served more than 100,000 victims of domestic violence and their children, providing crisis intervention, safety planning, education, and emotional and material support.

Artemis Center empowers victims of domestic violence to make decisions and choices that will allow them to achieve and maintain safety for themselves and their children. By working conjointly with other community resources, Artemis Center advocates are able to coordinate needed services for victims. Additionally, through collaboration with the justice, child welfare and healthcare systems, as well as other systems partners, and through community education and advocacy programs, Artemis has been instrumental in the development and implementation of community-wide best practice responses to domestic violence.

Artemis relies on the generosity of individual donors, foundations, and corporate partners to continue providing programs and services free of charge to victims of domestic violence and their children.

• 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, (937) 461-HELP (4357)
