Kohr Explores: Binary Brewing, MegaBite raise funds for YCARES program

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — On this Kohr Explores, AM Extra learned how beer lovers can support a great cause.

Binary Brewing and MegaBite restaurant will host a YMCA charity event called “Pints for a Purpose” on Monday. Proceeds from food and drink sales will be donated to the YCARES program.

“Pints for a Purpose is an opportunity for us to give back to the YMCA, so $2 of every pint of Binary sold today at our pub and 10% of our food sales are going to the YCARES program for the YMCA,” Joshua Johnson of Binary Brewery said.

He added the brewery is “really excited to be working with the community and giving back a little bit.”

Johnson noted, Binary Brewing underwent a renovation, transforming the former Beaverton Bakery location into the new brew spot.

Johnson recalled they “started from scratch, redid the whole floors, all the walls, everything back from studs and foundations, as we call it.”
