WAUKESHA, Wis. — Several southeast Wisconsin businesses have come up with unique ways to help support the United for Waukesha Community Fund. The money raised by the fund will support people impacted by the Christmas parade tragedy.
Raised Grain Brewing Company has created a special edition of it's Guitar City brew for the cause.
"Guitar City is a beer that we originally brewed as a tribute to our wonderful hometown of Waukesha," said Raised Grain owner Nick Reistad. "We're releasing it with a commemorative label that is a gold heart, so it really honors the victims and the entire community that has pulled together in this."
Four-packs of the beer will be on sale in the Waukesha taproom starting on Thursday. You'll also be able to pick up a pack at Discount Liquor in Waukesha and Milwaukee starting on Sunday. Four-packs will cost $8.99 and 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the United for Waukesha Community Fund.
