Congress may have (finally) approved a big Hurricane Sandy relief bill this week, but you can still do your part to help out areas in need, and what better way than by drinking a beer or two? Flying Fish Brewery, which is based in hard-hit New Jersey, has released a new brew called FU Sandy, and they're donating 100 percent of its proceeds to hurricane relief efforts.
A pale ale-wheat blend, FU Sandy—which stands for "Forever Unloved Sandy," get your mind outta the gutter—will only be available on draft for now, though they might start shelving bottles soon. The brewery expects the beer to drum up to about $50,000 in sales, ALL of which they'll donate directly to "grassroots organizations" working towards Sandy relief in New Jersey.
The brewery says they'll be releasing 100 kegs starting next month. The bad news? The beer will only be available in New Jersey and Philadelphia, so you might have to cross a couple borders to get a taste.
