Lake George, NY – October 22, 2014 – Over 800 craft beer fans flocked to Lake George last Saturday to attend the 9th Annual Oktoberfest for Charity. They drank New York State brewed beer, tossed kegs and raise funds for Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga, Warren & Washington Counties.
This event, which took place at the Adirondack Pub & Brewery, turned out to be the breweries largest event to date. There were 20 NY breweries, over 40 different locally brewed beers, 800 + people, all which contributed to the record breaking donation of $9,337 to the local Habitat for Humanity.
Adirondack Brewery’s founder John Carr said, “We owe the event’s success to the local brewers who donated product, time and support, the Adirondack staff, Habitat volunteers and all the festival goers, we literally could not do it without your help.” He added, “what a way to spend a fall Saturday in Lake George, beer, bratwurst, music and games, all for a good cause.”
Amy Jaffe, the Special Events Chair for Habitat for Humanity of Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties said, “We cannot even begin to express the gratitude that we have for such a generous donation. John Carr and Adirondack Brewery’s generosity and desire to give to the community is a perfect match for what Habitat strives to accomplish. We very much look forward to our future relationship with the brewery.” Jaffe added, “Habitat builds simple basic homes for low income working families in need. We build a single home a year and it is built using volunteer labor and funded entirely by community donations, like this one.”
Oktoberfest for Charity is an annual event hosted by the Adirondack Brewery, the third Saturday of October. They select a different local organization each year to be the beneficiary of ticket sale proceeds and proudly serve only New York State brewed beer.
