We present our next Pints for a Purpose specialty beer – Peace Ale. A portion of the sales from this brew will go to Peace House, the next on our list of non-profits to receive donations from our Pints for a Purpose program.
The program runs for three weeks, beginning with a kick-off party tonight, January 23rd, from 5-9pm. During the kick-off, we’ll give 50 cents for every pint sold to the organization. If supporters purchase more than 50 pints, we’ll up the donation to $1 per pint! For the remainder of the donation period, Standing Stone will give 25 cents per pint to Peace House. Come downtown and toast a pint to supporting this local non-profit!

Peace House is a local organization that promotes community and environmental sustainability, along with non-violence and social justice in Southern Oregon. Their list of programs includes Uncle Food’s Diner, which provides free weekly community meals in Ashland for the homeless and economically disadvantaged. We’re thrilled to support this local group and their mission.
About the beer
This beer shows off with a bright yellow color. A mild, slightly spicy aroma is contributed by Willamette Valley hops grown in the Oregon. A distinct, cracker-like malt flavor balances nicely with medium bitterness. With a lower fermentation temperature (62F) than our other ales, this beer has a crisp, dry finish, much like a classic pilsner. 5.3% abv

Beer and Food Pairings
Complement the light body and flavor of this beer with lightly flavored food. The cracker-like, dry characteristics of this beer also make it an excellent choice with foods that exhibit a light sweetness. Here are some suggestions for pairings from our menu:

- Tempeh Stir Fry
- Fish Tacos
- House Greens with Balsamic Vinaigrette
- Sauteed Veggie Wrap
- Black Bean Hummus
We invite you to help raise funds, and your glass, while satisfying your tastebuds with Peace Ale, January 23rd through February 12th. Support local non-profits and celebrate responsibly.
