St. Charles brewery collaboration raises over $4,000 for Lazarus House

ST. CHARLES – The STC Six, a collaboration of local breweries, launched its second annual collaborative beer in June and has raised more than $4,000 for Lazarus House, a Kane County homeless shelter and community relief organization, according to a news release.

The STC Six consists of all six St. Charles breweries: 93 Octane Brewery, Alter Brewing + Kitchen, Broken Brix Fermentation Emporium, D&G Brewing, Pollyanna Brewing & Distilling and Riverlands Brewing.

This year’s brew was a Summer Pale Ale, which was released during a launch party June 14. $1 from every sale of the Summer Pale Ale and a portion of the proceeds from every limited-edition glassware and bar of Summer Pale Ale soap by Magnolia Soap & Bath Co. also benefited Lazarus House.

Lazarus House is a nonprofit organization in St. Charles that helps individuals find shelter, food and other support services they need to get back on their feet. Lazarus House serves Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and western rural Kane County and is open 24 hours a day every day of the year.

“Lazarus House is truly grateful for the wonderful opportunity of benefiting from the STC Six collaboration,” Lazarus House executive director Julie Purcell said in the release. “The breweries involved care for their community and are showing it in a big way. We received over $4,000, which will provide 35 days of safe shelter, food and case management for a man, women or child from our community. What an amazing blessing. Thank you to all involved.”
