A Dandenong South brewery helped quench some hard-earned thirsts at local RSLs ahead of Anzac Day.
Brick Lane Brewing donated 10 cartons of its Brick Lane Draught to each of six local RSLs in Dandenong, Frankston, Seaford, Cheltenham, Longbeach and Cranbourne.
“We wanted to support our local communities,” founder and managing director Paul Bowker said.
“There’s so many people who have served for us and it was important for us to recognise that and say thanks – by serving them some beers of course.
“It’s a very easy thing for us to grab 100 cases out of the brewery and for our team to drop them off on their way home to some local venues.
