Drink Socially.
Drink Responsibly.

Now you can kill two birds with one stone and drink socially responsibly.

I owe this knowledge to a friend of ours (who may remain anonymous if s/he desires) who helped organize a fundraiser (Jazztoberfest) that we were invited to tonight.

We ate some food while a band played that was a cross between the soundtrack of The Triplets of Belleville and The Sweeny Sisters, from Saturday Night Live in the 1980s.

But what I came away with from the evening is the knowledge that Finnegan's Beer is the only beer in the country solely produced for charitable purposes. The beer company states that 100% of the profits go to charity.

The kicker is Finnegan's is brewed at the Summit Brewery in St. Paul, which (as of a year ago) is the only local brewery that uses wooden pallets in the stockroom that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The FSC oversees responsible management of the world's forests. Click here to learn how Summit got the FSC's stamp of approval.

So even if you're drinking alone or drinking to excess, when you drink Finnegan's, you are always drinking socially responsibly.
