The “Zero Percent” tribute beer, to be brewed by Goose Island, is an Extra Special Bitter on nitro, the company said in a statement. The proceeds of the specialty brew will go towards reducing food cost and alleviating hunger within the community.
Zero Percent describes itself as a startup that makes it easy for restaurants and grocery stores to reduce waste by coordinating the pickup of excess food and delivering it to local nonprofit partners.
