With Christmas Day now just over one month away, many food and beverage businesses have been getting into the holiday spirit by giving back to both their community and those who need it most. Vancouver’s Main St. Brewing recently announced how it plans to give back, and let’s just say we expect the Mount Pleasant brewery to get a lot busier. 

From December 1 to 12, every guest who drops off toys, games, sporting goods, or gift cards with a minimum value of $10 will receive a complimentary flight of beer featuring four of Main St. Brewing’s flagship beers. 

In addition to getting to sample some pretty delicious beer (Naked Fox IPA, Main St. Pilsner, Hula Hula Tropical Milkshake Sour, Secret Krush Lager, or Kingpin Pale Ale) guests who contribute to the campaign will also receive entry into a series of daily giveaways from December 1 to 23. Each daily giveaway winner will win a six-pack of beer and a $50 gift card, and on December 23, the brewery will announce a grand prize winner, who will receive a full flat of Main St. beer every month for a year.

All donations during Main St. Brewing's Miracle on Main Street toy drive will go directly to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre—a non-profit organization that provides safe spaces, free clothing, hot meals, and more for self-identified women and their children.
