In other news... the beer company that donates its profits to charity, and invented the Reverse Truck, is creating a dark extra stout

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I've never bothered you with Kickstarter campaigns, there are so many, and it seems an odd way to raise money... but a company that gives all its profits to, and collects food for, soup kitchens - gets my respect and what free publicity I can put up for them in hopes that their business is a success, and that they may do lots of good, and inspire others, as I suspect Paul Newman inspired them, to donate profits to charity.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkDLv2d3uSUg_emq7kwAMfDr9889zYv2VoNxIlxnE52adhnnn6nnFQueSus6BSKTOiLpXfimzM5tMjTyH8m_IKagRQIwaqk4sDy01OLntuW3bTS5HxNw8xO0e2q6_qaXW8-Lm3Ab_xZLEJ/s1600/e7aedf59f45d6887f0e70e54b088264c_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkDLv2d3uSUg_emq7kwAMfDr9889zYv2VoNxIlxnE52adhnnn6nnFQueSus6BSKTOiLpXfimzM5tMjTyH8m_IKagRQIwaqk4sDy01OLntuW3bTS5HxNw8xO0e2q6_qaXW8-Lm3Ab_xZLEJ/s1600/e7aedf59f45d6887f0e70e54b088264c_large.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><i><b>" in the process of creating our limited release Extra Stout for an October 1st release date.

Its sales grow an average of 30% each year. But Finnegans is not your average craft beer brand. Every bit of profit raked in by the company goes back to the community--specifically, to purchasing produce from local farms and gardens and then giving that produce to local food banks and soup kitchens. In 2012 alone, Finnegans donated 110,189 pounds of fresh produce. This is a beer brand that doesn't just get people tipsy--it feeds the hungry. <a href="http://www.fastcoexist.com/3025778/why-this-popular-minnesota-beer-company-gives-away-all-of-its-profits">http://www.fastcoexist.com/3025778/why-this-popular-minnesota-beer-company-gives-away-all-of-its-profits</a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEQkF9-JMlYnT2YF49Hj-n-tWbp8Il1NlKDj9gzepSA0fStZkCJYO-C0YBuxUVTNDahJRE05DYP-QYEODMkkhaqHXTkEO1hcjbUV1pdIrdz-RO4WxT_YbOU7QWbKzZ5LzmzEAlHYfwf3Uk/s1600/dyjdyk.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEQkF9-JMlYnT2YF49Hj-n-tWbp8Il1NlKDj9gzepSA0fStZkCJYO-C0YBuxUVTNDahJRE05DYP-QYEODMkkhaqHXTkEO1hcjbUV1pdIrdz-RO4WxT_YbOU7QWbKzZ5LzmzEAlHYfwf3Uk/s1600/dyjdyk.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="410" mozallowfullscreen="" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/89136184?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="680"></iframe> <br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/89136184">FINNEGANS - Reverse Food Truck</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user22518081">FINNEGANS</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br /><br />First posted on <a href="http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2014/06/finnegans-begin-again-nursery-rhyme.html">http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2014/06/finnegans-begin-again-nursery-rhyme.html</a></div>
