NORWOOD, MASS. – Castle Island Brewing Company has built a reputation for approachable, award-winning beer in the Commonwealth. Now, the local brewery is building a philanthropic program fueled by the sale of their fastest growing beer.
Partnering with five different local charities for 2021, Castle Island is raising proceeds for the foundations through the sale of Fiver, their fundraising-focused hazy IPA. Funds raised through 2021 will be split evenly between Mass Audubon, The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, Artists for Humanity, and Facing History and Ourselves.
Proceeds from Fiver IPA to Benefit The Five Foundations Listed Above “We are honored to be selected as one of Castle Island Brewing Company’s charity partners for 2021, and humbled to be in the company of the other deserving organizations participating in the program,” said Cynthia Wigren, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Atlantic White Shark Conservancy.

The Council will continue work on Framework 61 in January when it is slated to take final action on a redfish universal sector exemption.
