Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced on Friday their collaboration with official beer partner Phillips Brewing & Malting Co. to create Village Hero, a limited-edition craft beer that pays homage to our frontline heroes. One hundred per cent of the proceeds from every beer sold will be donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
Village Hero was inspired by the club’s It Takes A Village art pieces by internationally recognized local artist Carson Ting and the successful fundraising initiative for the food bank launched on May 1. The original artwork is the beer’s collector-item label, commemorating Vancouver’s 7 p.
