They say good things take time and Southpaw Beverage Company have that concept down. After nearly a year in existence, they have finally brought their first beer to market. HEROES Lager is an easy-drinking blonde lager with a smooth finish. Taste aside, it's purchase-worthy for another reason: as owner Murray Milthorpe describes it, it's dedicated to "Canadians who are true heroes that serve in the military and local community". And Southpaw have put their money where their mouth is, committing to donating 10 per cent of the annual profits from the lager to the veterans charity Wounded Warriors Canada. Support our heroes and be the hero at this weekend's barbecue? Win win.
