CINCINNATI – MadTree Brewing and Chicago’s Revolution Brewing have entered into a challenge in the spirit of charity prior to the FC Cincinnati vs. Chicago Fire match for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday, June 28 at 8 p.m. in Nippert Stadium.
MadTree and Revolution, both distributed by Cincinnati-based Cavalier Distributing, have entered into a friendly wager to raise funds for two charities; the Cincinnati Rec Commission and the Chicago Fire Foundation. Prior to the MLS game tomorrow, the two breweries will meet at U Square at The Loop Piazza on Calhoun Street for a pre-match party. If FC Cincinnati wins, Revolution will donate 25% of all beer sales to the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. If Chicago Fire wins, MadTree will donate 25% of beer sales to the Chicago Fire Foundation. Both charities will receive donations; from whom depends on the game outcome.
