Bottled Lightning Co Beard Season Fundraiser

One chilly August evening, more than 70 Bottled Lightning Co members and Beard Season supporters piled into the Local Taphouse for a heartwarming night of fundraising fun

Beard Season are a non-profit charity on a quest to help raise awareness and promote early detection of one of the deadliest cancers in the world – melanoma – through growing epic beards. The idea is quite simple: grow your facial fuzz, then steer each beard-inspired conversation, quip or compliment into a chat about a potentially lifesaving skincheck.

In support of the cause, Bottled Lightning Co put on a bit of a knees up with help from Rocks Brewing Co, and the Local Taphouse. Bottled Lightning’s beer guru Liam Pereira hosted the night, with support from Beard Season founder Jimmy Niggles, while Rocks put up the beers, and the Taphouse lined bellies with arancini, meatballs and fried chicken.

Between selfies with Jimmy and beers with the Rocks crew, guests fought over raffle prizes, including Rocks Brewing Co and Young Henrys Brewery Tours; Local Taphouse dinner vouchers; Beard Season tees; and a prized ticket to Jimmy’s Beard Season Bushrangers Ball in Katoomba.

Thanks to Beard Season and Bottled Lightning Co members, over $800 was raised on the night, which all goes to support Beard Season’s fight against melanoma.
