PHOENIX, AZ – Walter Station Brewery has partnered with The Arizona Animal Welfare League in the upcoming release of AAWLager, a light honey lager, just in time for summer.
The Arizona Animal Welfare League, AAWL is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year as Arizona’s largest and oldest no-kill shelter. AAWL has partnered with Walter Station Brewery for a limited release to help raise awareness and funds for their shelter. This beer will be available in limited quantities (1 case/person) and will go on sale at the taproom Saturday, June 5th as well as other locations around Arizona where craft beer is sold. The 12oz can will be decorated with past adoptees from the shelter to commemorate this event and was created by Anthony Jensen of Unit 32 Design.
On Monday, April 5, the brewing space at PHX Beer Co. was busy but not just with beer-making. On that day, hundreds of people checked in for appointments to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Leah Huss, co-owner of one of the largest breweries in the state, filled out vaccine cards. Then people followed signs and yellow ropes around brewing tanks to an array of yellow chairs where they sat and waited for their turn.
After getting vaccinated near the company s working canning line, they moved into the taproom to wait 15 minutes to ensure no one experienced allergic reactions or other issues.
The Arizona Craft Brewers Guild, in conjunction with the PHX Beer Co. and Albertsons Companies, hosted the COVID-19 vaccine distribution event, providing one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccines to members of the guild and brewery staff from around the state.
