Order now and share a ‘cold one’ in remembrance of a friend and help support local kids in sports

A Port Elgin Ontario family and a London Ontario craft brewing company have found a way to combine the time-honoured tradition of sharing a “cold one” in remembrance of a friend while also helping support local kids in sports activities and programs.

It is a celebration and tribute to a friend, father, husband and a long-time hockey dad of three boys Paul Czuczman (pronounced CHUHRCH –MAN). Czuczman passed away from cancer on November 20th, 2019 at the age of 58.

Brian Semkowski, President of the Equals Brewing Company located in London Ontario, and other close friends of Paul’s in cooperation with the Czuczman family have created “Czuczy Cream Ale” as a new addition to the brewery line now for sale.

The description that accompanies the crafted cream ale reads: ”To those that knew him Paul (Czuczy) Czuczman was a mixture of 5 parts Brilliance, 3 parts Funny, and 2 parts Crazy but that all mixed to make a 100% great friend. Paul was a proud man that loved his family, loved his friends and loved his community. He lived life to the fullest, made the most of every situation and saw every glass as half full. Cheers to Czuczy, and to all of those friends taken from us way to early!”

Kevin Czuczman, Paul’s son and an NHL professional hockey player currently under contract with the Minnesota Wild says, “Those who have tested it are saying it has a fantastic taste. A unique flavor is appropriate considering who it’s a tribute to. I know my dad would get a kick out of this craft beer being created in his name and his likeness being on the can. But he’d even be more pleased that $10 from every case sold will go to Canadian Tire Jump Start charity for local children’s sport programs and activities in our family’s hometown of Port Elgin. As a life-long sports enthusiastic and a hockey Dad of three active boys it is a fitting tribute and something I know he’d approve of.”

The Czuczman family would like to thank Mowbray’s Canadian Tire in Port Elgin for allowing the Equals Brewing Company to set up a truck for all pre-paid/ordered cases of “Czuczy Cream Ale” to be picked up on Thursday August 12th – a one-time free delivery day to the Port Elgin Canadian Tire parking lot between 3:30pm and 5:30pm.  

NOTE: Any online order to Equals Brewing Company on or before Monday August 9th, will be included in the free delivery.

HOW TO PRE-ORDER:

Again – the best part is that $10 from each case is being donated to support kids playing sports!
