About the label…

By the time this beer was brewed, seven journalists were killed covering the war.

Sadly, they probably won’t be the last: Pierre Zakrzewski, Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova, Brent Renaud, Oksana Baulina, Yevhenii Sakun, Maks Levin, and Mantas Kvedaravičius.

The Beer For Bombs label features the letters PSB – the first letter of the first names of the first three journalists on our list. Their portraits are also on the can.

About the brewery…

26 Degree Brewing Company was founded in 2014 and opened its doors the following year. After years of serving beer to the Pompano Beach community and throughout the Sunshine State, 26 Degree received a silver medal for its imperial stout “Ziko’s Rage” at the 2021 Great Americans Beer Festival, the world’s largest commercial beer competition. 

About the people…

They created Beer For Bombs, so now you know who to blame…

  • Joe Pye (left) runs BrowardBeer.com and serves on the board of directors of Florida’s Society for Professional Journalism. He’s associate editor at Debt.com.
  • Gillian Manning (center) is an SPJ associate regional coordinator for the five southeastern states. She’s a staff writer at Debt.com.

They’re smiling because this picture was taken during “brew day” on April 6 – which started at 5 in the morning.

Drink like their lives depend on it.
