Because of generous donations from members of the brewing industry, the very act of making this beer helps support Pints for Prostates. Schooner Exact Brewing is donating the manpower, the equipment and the know-how. Larry’s Brewing Supply of Kent, WA donated the majority of the grain. Yakima Chief, Inc of Sunnyside, WA donated the majority of the hops. Snipes Mountain Brewing of Sunnyside, WA donated additional hops. A monetary donation equaling the cost of those ingredients will be made to Pints for Prostates.

“Because of the generous support of our sponsors, and Schooner Exact’s willingness to get involved in this project, we are able to insure that this beer benefits the cause before it ever leaves the brewery,” says Kendall Jones, Director of Beer Church. “To further support the cause, we encourage other bars selling Beer Church Pale Ale to follow West 5’s lead and donate a portion of sales to Pints for Prostates.”

As with any type of cancer, early diagnosis is critical to survival. Unfortunately, testing for prostate cancer is a subject men generally do not want to talk about. Like Pints for Prostates, we want beer to help get the conversation started.”
