Mclaughlin & Moran, Inc., joined with brewers from within its state distribution portfolio at Rogue Island Local Kitchen & Bar for Cheers of Charity on March 22. Organized by Rogue Island Owner Ryan Bessette, the goal is to cumulatively raise $50,000 for Hogs for the Cause, a New Orleans-based nonprofit that provides financial assistance to families across the country with children undergoing treatment for brain cancer. McLaughlin & Moran’s Terry Moran said, “It was a great night with local breweries supporting the charity. Proceeds on sales for local beers went directly to supporting Hogs for the Cause.” Brands showcased for guests included Union Station Brewery, Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island, Tapped Apple Cidery & Winery, Shaidzon Beer Company and Yacht Club Soda.
