Eight Manitoba microbreweries have teamed up to help victims of the war in Ukraine with red beer Brew For Ukraine.
Friday, at the Torque brewery plant in Winnipeg, it was a day of filling 3,000 cans now containing 1,500 liters of beer.
Manitoba brewers have answered the call of an international movement.
Ukrainian brewery Pravda has converted its factory to produce Molotov cocktails. She therefore requested the help of international brewers so that they could produce their recipes, which could be accessed on the Internet.
