Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. has been having some issues getting their attractive ceramic bottles returned from the Beer Store, and over the last couple of months Beau's has been working on a plan to get their bottles back in one piece. Here is the latest news.
So, good news all around.Great News everybody...we've found an awesome solution to our bottle return issue (the Beer Store won't give them back to us).
We've partnered with Operation Go Home, an Ottawa based youth shelter, to get the bottles back to us.
Starting November 1 we will hold a monthly bottle drive on the first Saturday of the month at various places in the city. The project will employ up to 8 street youth at a time with the plan to have them 'graduate' out of the program on a regular basis, so that over the course of the year, literally dozens of unemployed street youth will gain employment experience and confidence and hopefully get off the street.
As part of the project, we are hoping to set up permanent bottle return depots in the city...this is where I need your help. We are looking for places that can temporarliy hold bottles. If you have a business that has the space and want to help with this project, please email me at steve@beaus.ca or call me at 866-585-2337.
This is very exciting news and it is great to turn a problem into a real win-win situation.
Cheers,
Steve
