Looking for a tasty way to help people in Ukraine? Stop by this Illinois brewery

Not really the spirits industry, but here’s one for the beer lovers.
 

I’m posting this because it’s kind of a feel good story, and it hits really close to home. Wishful Acres Farm & Brewery is roughly 40 miles from where I live. I also worked with the owner, Nate Peterson, for a number of years before he resigned to run his brewery and farm full time. I also worked with Nate’s brother Joe until I retired last fall. You could tell they we’re related. Both were really great guys. I really don’t drink beer all that often anymore. I drink craft beers even less. That being said, Nate and his wife make some tasty and interesting brews. I’ve been there on a few occasions. They have regular and seasonal brews. I believe that most of you beer geeks would probably approve. Below is a link to the story, and a link to the Wishful Acres website.
