FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ABC21) - A new pale ale beer was released Saturday at Junk Ditch Brewing company.
Head brewer Todd Stone wanted to try something different and he did just that.
"The emphasis for this beer specifically was to use a local malt that we hadn't used before -- Sugar Creek malt -- from a company in Lebanon, Indiana, and it was just something I'd been wanting to do for a while."
All proceeds will go to the Family and Friends Fund benefitting the southeast side of town.
"I really love the community aspect and the local aspect about this beer, Stone said. "And of course I'm always happy when someone likes my beer."
Designer DJ E-Clyps told ABC21 his label was from a picture he took during the downtown protests earlier this summer.
He said the picture signifies Dr. Marin Luther King Junior's message for all races to unite, and he's glad he could help a good cause.
"It's something different," he said. "Everyone supports things in a different way, so if you're able to have black creatives on a beer can so people can get a consumable item and at the same time support a good charity and good cause, its kind of a blessing on both sides."
Another designer whose art makes appearance on the cans is Lyndy Bazile.
She's only been making productive art for a little over a year and her design is called currency which has a powerful meaning behind it.
"It's just kind of thinking about money and capitalism and how they may or not being working for a lot of us," she said. "So it kind of relates to this type of project too, because we're trying to disperse capital to parts of the city that been neglected."
Stone said a beer like this takes 3 to 6 weeks to brew. It's only being brewed once.
