The Kingaroy Hotel-Motel is taking part in a simultaneous drought fundraiser next weekend involving pubs and clubs across three States.
The “Let It Pour” event has been organised by the Great Northern Brewing Company and aims to raise more than $1 million for drought-affected farmers.
Great Northern will donate 1000 kegs to pubs and clubs across Queensland, NSW and Victoria.
All sales proceeds from the 1000 donated kegs will be given to the Drought Relief Fund, administered by Rotary Australia.
Great Northern General Manager Mick McKeown said venues would host Let it Pour events from Friday, August 24, until Sunday, August 26.
“We are a big part of regional Australia and are going to let it pour as communities rally together to help our farmers,” he said.
Queensland Hotels Association chief executive Bernie Hogan said Let it Pour was a great way for pubs to support people struggling in the drought.
“I’d encourage our members to get behind this event to help raise funds for our farmers, who are doing it really tough,” he said.
