Pints for a Purpose
The program is a simple one, you drink beer and we donate to charity.
In 2013 local entrepreneur Luke Colvin was seeking a way to have a bigger impact in the community beyond his successful service based arbor business and Buoy Beer Company was born. The idea for Buoy Beer to have a positive impact on our community gave shape to the Pints for a Purpose program launched at the beginning of 2016. Every quarter our Community Involvement Committee chooses a non-profit to receive $1 for every pint of a specialty IPA ordered in our Astoria brewpub.
This Quarter’s Pint For A Purpose charity – Astoria Warming Center
The Astoria Warming Center provides overnight emergency shelter for our homeless population during the winter months.
