KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Fire Rescue’s Firehall No.1 Kolsch will be the star of the evening Thursday night (April 6) at the Kami Inn. The Firehall No. 1 Kolsch beer from Iron Road Brewing pays tribute to Kamloops’ oldest surviving firehall, which opened back in 1905.
Last month, 4,000 cans of the beer rolled off the production line at Iron Road in Kamloops and Thursday the beer and the charitable initiative will be celebrated at its namesake, Fire Hall No. 1. Josh Cowen who helped spearhead the campaign confirmed that a dollar from every beer sold has been benefiting the Kamloops Firefighters Charitable Society.
“Every pint that is sold tonight, the Kamloops Firefighters Charitable Society gets a dollar out of that. From there, we will deem where it goes. It can go down to RIH or the (Firefighters) Burn Fund. There is an actual burn fund building down in Vancouver that houses burn victims — it will help that. The Kamloops Firefighters Charitable Society actually has a room there to house people — and we will just put it back into the community where we see fit,” said Cowen.
