The perfect beer after a long day of gardening, hiking, or exploring the outdoors! 🌿🍺

@dawsontrailcraftbrewery and the LRCA have teamed up once again to collaborate on Hazelwood Helles — an easy-drinking Munich Helles (5%) brewed with simple ingredients and inspired by a love for the outdoors.

Dawson Trail Craft Brewery will be donating $1 per litre sold to support the LRCA’s Conservation Areas and Education Programs. 🌎💚

Grab a pint, support local conservation, and cheers to protecting the places we love!
