Raise a glass with STC Six beer to benefit Support Over Stigma
The STC Six is launching their fourth annual collaborative beer to support a local nonprofit organization, with this year benefiting Support Over Stigma.
The STC Six is made up of six St. Charles breweries: 93 Octane Brewery, Alter Brewing + Kitchen, Broken Brix Fermentation Emporium, D & G Brewing, Pollyanna Brewing & Distilling, and Riverlands Brewing.
The breweries invite everyone to join in on the celebration for a great cause with the first opportunity to taste the new beer starting at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, at Pollyanna Brewing & Distilling, 106 S. Riverside Ave. in St. Charles.
Eric Bramwell, Riverlands Brewing’s head brewer/co-founder, talks about what patrons can expect from this year’s collaborative beer.
“The STC Six 2025 is a West Coast Pilsner — a true beer lover’s beer that combines the hoppiness of a pale ale with the crisp drinkability of a pilsner,” Bramwell said. “Brewed with lager yeast, and hopped with Simcoe, Krush, Riwaka and Rakau hops, one can expect notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and a bit of pine.”
The 2025 STC Six collaborative beer will be available at five breweries in St. Charles while supplies last (93 Octane Brewery, Alter Brewing + Kitchen, Broken Brix Fermentation Emporium, Pollyanna Brewing & Distilling, and Riverlands Brewing).
One dollar from every sale of the STC Six Collaborative Beer and the limited-edition glassware will go toward Support Over Stigma, a local nonprofit that provides essential services for military personnel, veterans, and first responders to help them overcome the mental health and service-related challenges they encounter.
Since its founding in 2020, Support Over Stigma has supported over 26,000 individuals with live-saving outreach, educational programs, and addressing trauma-induced mental health.
