If any of you have been you know Barehand's brewing in Granger, In is a fantastic place with wonderful beer and an even greater staff. I have been going there for sometime and consider these guys my friends. Owner Chris Gerard was injured a little over a week ago and was hospitalized with a head injury until yesterday. He does not have health insurance. There is a crowd funding site up to donate to Chris and his family (there are more details there). I am meeting with some friends this weekend who are gonna give me some details on a beer silent auction on June 23-this also coincides with a golf outing/beer dinner being held to raise more money. I am contributing some of my cellar and wondered if anyone else would like to donate a bottle or 2 or maybe even a chaos brewed bottle. Also if anyone is interested I would attempt to play golf-the entry fee is 100 per person (I believe). There is also a dinner only.
I hope Chris gets on his feet and does not miss a beat-he has a fantastic thing going in north west/central Indiana and it is my favorite place to share a pint. I will provide details on the auction when I know more.
The brewery has done a good job updating information about fundraiser and the families needs on facebook if you want to check out their page.
2010 Dark Lord, how should I get it to you?
Jer is goint to the AHA conference if anyone has beer to donate bring it to the brewhouse before June 11th and those of us that are going will get it to him.
I just talked to someone who is helping with the donations and I am gonna drop some beer off at the brewery Saturday night (anyone else wanna go). They are selling tickets in brewery and raffling of random beers. I will then see if I get more before or at aha and swing in the brewery on the way home from conference to drop additional off. I am sure the brewery would love for everyone to stop in sat/sun after conference! I believe they are having some beers that 100% support the cause as well. Thanks.
Here are some links about the crowd share and the outing.

I left my bottle on the back of the bar in a brown paper sack, black duct top sealing it up on top, and written in purple glitter pen is Barehands Brewing Donation. Chuck said he can get it to you if you can't grab it before AHA.
