The Fernie Brewing Company presented a cheque totalling $1,197.95 to the Fernie Library.

Representatives from the library included Emma Dressler, Randal Macnair and Angie Abdou.

Macnair confirmed that the money would be put towards furthering the library’s Booked! series, which invites acclaimed authors to the Fernie Library, giving locals the opportunity to meet the talented writers.

“What’s great about this is that Fernie Brewing produces a local product that’s sold across the province and we couldn’t be more thrilled that they would contribute these funds to a program that helps bring authors across the country into our local library,” said Macnair of receiving the funds.

The funds were derived from the brewing company’s Cheers for Charity program over 2014’s last quarter.

The program was established in late 2013 and charges $5 for a flight of sample beers from the brewery’s eight available on tap. All proceeds from the program are directed towards funding local charities.

“Every tasting counts,” said Marketing Manager at Fernie Brewing Abi Moore of the program. “This donation is one of many since we started Cheers for Charity. We’ve donated to a number of organizations and charities and we have some great charities coming up.”
