If you happen to live in the San Diego area, Stone Brewing is having a glorious event called “Give a Pint, Get a Pint” in support of their local blood bank.

Since drinking alcohol is…ill advised when you’re low on blood, the promo works like this: Donate blood, get an empty pint glass. What a great idea! Donating blood is fairly simple, and fairly painless for those without fears of needles, plus who doesn’t enjoy the chance to show their love for one of their favourite micro brews?

So, Toronto brewers, do you have a response? Mill Street? Steamwhistle? Spearhead? Amsterdam? Anyone? Who wants to step up for charity and help organize a blood drive? I’ll roll up my sleeve.
