Too Thug To Chug Release // Project MKC Fundraiser

  • BirdFish Brewing Co. 140 E. Park Ave. Columbiana, OH 44408 United States (map)

Convey this drink to your lips! NEW 11.5% Hazy Triple IPA collaboration with R.L. Craig (Lisbon, Ohio) tapping and can release Thursday, June 23rd at 6PM. Charles & Jason from R.L. Craig are guest bartending and together we’re donating a portion of proceeds from ALL (draft, can, distro keg, etc.) Too Thug To Chug sales to Project MKC (Project Making Kids Count). We’re also raffling off a set of Birdfish cornhole boards (Valued at $400) on Thursday with 100% of ticket sales going to Project MKC. Come out and help us raise some money for this great local non-profit organization.

Too Thug To Chug is a citrus bomb with a face smacking level of hops. This beer was double dry hopped with Vic Secret, Galaxy, and Enigma hops, and the first IPA we have brewed with malted oats which gives the beer a super smooth finish.

RAT Creative (Lisbon, Ohio) created the label for this beer with their son Cooper pictured on the label and will be bringing Too Thug To Chug tee shirts which we are donating 100% of proceeds from these sales to Project MKC.

Two and a Half Greeks Food Truck will be setup Thursday evening on the patio for the release as well.

Project MKC programs in Columbiana County include a Diaper Bank and Comfort Kit Program. Comfort Kits are duffel bags filled with new items that are age and gender specific. The bags are distributed to Columbiana County Children Services on an annual basis for the case workers to distribute to children that are being removed from their homes and placed into foster care. Each bag is valued at around $50 each, and they distribute 100 bags annually to Columbiana County, over 1,000 in NE Ohio total! Their Diaper Bank Serves 12 different partner agencies in Columbiana County including:

  • Columbiana County Help Me Grow

  • The Way Station - Columbiana

  • The Way Station - East Palestine

  • The Way Station - East Liverpool

  • East Liverpool Community Resource Center

  • Centro San Pablo - St Paul Church

  • Salem Salvation Army

  • East Liverpool Salvation Army

  • Columbiana County Children Services

  • Resources for Parents

  • Big Reach Center of Hope (Might be Mahoning County, but has Salem address and definitely would serve Columbiana County residents!)

  • Ohio Can/Nina’s Closet

Between all of these partners, Columbiana County is eligible for around 28,000 diapers, 43,520 wipes, and 240 toiletry items per month! Project MKC diaper partners are also the network they distribute additional items they have donated to them, and also through which they receive referral for other programs like their Holiday Adopt-a-Family. This past Christmas, over 30 Columbiana County Families were adopted! We also just received a very large donation of clothes and shoes, all of which is distributed then through these partners. Other additional items Project MKC typically have for distribution is baby formula, baby shampoo, baby food, blankets, coats, vitamins, strollers, carseats, pack and plays, and more.
