As many of you know, the entire Outer Light crew is incredibly passionate about supporting the men and women who have served. That is why on Friday, May 15 from 5-9 PM, we are honored to team up with an organization that started right in our own backyard: Work Vessels for Vets.

We are bringing in John Niekrash, the president and co-founder, to hang out in the taproom. John’s story is awesome. Back in 2008, as a commercial lobsterman out of Noank, he decided to donate his own lobster boat to a returning Marine. From that single gesture, Work Vessels for Vets was born. Today, they equip veteran entrepreneurs across the country with the exact tools they need to start their civilian businesses—everything from laptops to tractors to commercial vans.

Here is how we are raising money for them on the 15th:

$1 from every single pour between 5 and 9 PM goes directly to Work Vessels for Vets.

100% of all tips collected during those four hours will be donated to the cause.

Come down, grab a pint, and meet John. Let’s pack the taproom and raise some serious money for the veterans who stepped up for us.

See you on the 15th.
