Backcountry Brewing releases Suck It Cancer beer
Squamish's Backcountry Brewing is releasing a new beer on Thursday, Sept. 26—with an artful twist.
The cans will be wrapped in art created by the late Chili Thom (with some help from his loved ones), a local artist who succumbed to cancer in 2016. A portion of sales will be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation with the goal of raising $5,000.
The release will be part of the brewery's regular Thursday Beats & Brews event, running from 8 to 11 p.m.
