This summer, making a difference is as easy as enjoying a cold brew. Streets of Toronto’s debut charity beer, Raccoon Lager, created in collaboration with Tomorrow Brew Co., is not just quenching thirsts but also supporting the Daily Bread Food Bank. Since 1983, this essential organization has been battling hunger in our city through over 250 agencies, and now, every sip of Raccoon Lager contributes directly to their cause.
Raccoon Lager, meticulously crafted for bold flavour and refreshing crispness, has become a summer staple, available at various restaurants and LCBO locations across Toronto and beyond. Each case comes with four collectible cans, each featuring one of Streets of Toronto’s quirky characters like Kenny Sington, the graffiti artist and Lawrence Park, the finance bro.
But how well is this charitable brew faring among beer enthusiasts? Based on reviews from Untappd, a popular beer rating site with over 9 million users, Raccoon Lager is doing remarkably well. With 46 ratings, it holds an impressive average score of 3.55.
