Do you know a person who is working on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19? If so, a Hamilton brewer wants to buy them a beer.
Do you know a person who is working on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19? If so, a Hamilton brewer wants to buy them a beer.
Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. is looking for nominations of local front-line workers who are making a difference in the community and they want to share their story and buy them a beer — a physically distant beer, of course.
“We have committed to buying up to 25,000 beers to show gratitude to all the Hamiltonians working long hours to keep the community healthy and safe,” Shawn & Ed say on their website.
“This gift extends from health care workers to grocery store clerks, first responders and many others who the brewery considers a ‘Front-Line Friend.’”
All nominees, who are 19 and older, will be gifted a four-pack of Shawn & Ed beers, which will be made available via curbside pickup.
So how do you nominate someone?
Share a photo of someone who is working the front line on Instagram and Facebook and tag the brewery (@lagershed) and the Shawn & Ed Brewing Co, and the Front Line Friend nominee.
This gift can be collected via curbside pick-up during the window of 5-7 pm every day at the brewery while supplies last, Shawn & Ed say.
Local businesses and organizations can also be nominated in the same ways as front-line workers, but Shawn & Ed ask that participants send an email to [email protected] with the manager’s name and contact info and they will arrange a delivery of beer through them.
“Our guiding principle is based on the spirit of friendship. Shawn and Ed started the brewery after years of history and friendship. The two know the value of strong relationships and friendship in starting this business,” they write on their website.
“For all of you who are Front-Line Friends, enjoy this beer on us and thank you greatly for all that you do.”
They’ve already seen dozens of nominations. Here’s some of them:

The brewery also said they are looking for other potential business partners who are looking to show their appreciation for front line workers. Contact details for that initiative can also be found on their website.
