Pints for Parks
“Brewing up adventure” isn’t just a motto for us, it’s a way of life. Pints for Parks project benefits Vermont State Parks through Vermont Parks Forever.
Twice a year we will brew up a limited-edition beer in honor of one of our state parks. Whetstone will donate proceeds from Pints for Parks limited release beers and merchandise to the Vermont State Parks foundation, Vermont Parks forever. But get it while you can and don’t forget to save the keepsake sticker that is on every beer can!
