MELVILLE, N.Y.–EGC Group’s Craft Beverage Division is excited to be working with Blue Point Brewing Company on the branding of their newest charity brew, Drink The Bay Clean India Pale Lager – a beer that will support Save The Great South Bay’s clean water efforts. EGC was brought on to develop the branding and merchandise for the charity brew.

“It’s philanthropy by design,” said Jim McCune, Executive Director, Craft Beverage Division, EGC Group. “Blue Point Brewing Company has been a great client for 20 years. We all live, work, and play on Long Island. This project was a natural fit.”

EGC Group established strategic partnerships for Drink the Bay Clean which included joining forces with Reid Carleton, founder and head designer of the popular Carleton Clothing to help design the brand art.

Additionally, EGC client, Hopsteiner generously donated Calypso hops for the new charity lager.

Proceeds from Drink The Bay Clean will go towards supporting Save The Great South Bay’s Creek Defender Program, which works to establish a human “defender” to be put in place in every South Shore community and on its 31 creeks.

The charity beer has the perfect flavor blend to kick off summer on Long Island. With floral notes, Drink The Bay Clean has the quick bite of an IPA but is as refreshing as a lager.

“The quality of our water will only be worse tomorrow, so Drink The Bay Clean is not just a limited time effort,” said Mark Burford, Founder/Brewmaster Emeritus, Blue Point Brewing Company. “We’re committed to a long-term movement to generate awareness and raise funds through sales of this delicious brew. With every sip, you’ll be contributing to the health of our waters.”

Blue Point Brewing Company will be hosting a Drink The Bay Clean India Pale Lager launch party on June 10, 2017 at their brewery in Patchogue. The event is open to the public..

Drink The Bay Clean will be exclusively available locally this month at the brewery’s tasting room and other fine locations that carry Blue Point Brewing, but is planned to be distributed nationally by next summer.MELVILLE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EGC Group’s Craft Beverage Division is excited to be working with Blue Point Brewing Company on the branding of their newest charity brew, Drink The Bay Clean India Pale Lager – a beer that will support Save The Great South Bay’s clean water efforts.
