Today is a Good Day, an organization that provides personal and financial support to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) families, will hold its Pints for Preemies beer tasting and fundraising event on Friday, March 25 from 6-9 p.m. at Bluestone Country Club, 711 Boehms Church Road, Blue Bell, PA.
This year’s event will be a hybrid and will again feature Ryan Daley, Master Cicerone® of the Brewers Collective, a division of Anheuser-Busch. Pints for Preemies offers options for in-person or virtual tasting, toasts lead by Daley, and raffle drawings, all while attendees learn the nuances of different varieties of beer. The cost for the event is $150 per person for individual in-person/virtual tickets and $250 for a couple’s virtual ticket. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the Today is a Good Day website at https://www.todayisagoodday.org/events.
Just as a sommelier designates those with advanced knowledge about wine, a Cicerone® designates those with advanced knowledge about beer. A Master Cicerone® is the highest level of Cicerone® certification. It recognizes persons who have considerable knowledge of beer and brewing, and can educate consumers about the differences and subtleties among the many varieties of beer. Daley is one of 20 Master Cicerones® in the world and has over 16 years of experience in the beer industry. He is eager to share what he has learned to help people become more knowledgeable and passionate about beer.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this year’s Pints for Preemies event, said Ryan Daley. “Beer has historically been a beverage that brings people together. What better way to bring people together to support a great cause than a beer-led Libation Celebration? Spring is in the air. Time to put it in our cups!”
Entering its lucky 7th year, Pints for Preemies has raised over $200,000 since its inception. Proceeds from the event will support the organization’s virtual programming, signature care packages, direct financial grants to families, and other crucial resources that help families during their NICU journeys.
“We are so pleased to have Ryan back at our Pints for Preemies event,” said Today is a Good Day Founder and Chief Executive Officer Martha Sharkey. “His knowledge about beer is second to none. Participants are sure to learn something new and taste some amazing beers. We invite one and all to join us in raising a pint or two to help NICU families during a challenging and scary time in their newborn babies’ lives.”
