\"\"As Northern Maverick gears up for a summer launch, the Toronto craft brewer announced its first beer\u00a0as part of a charitable line of beers that will be available in their Bathurst brewery\/restaurant, onsite beer shop and through direct delivery in Ontario.<\/p>\n

Dubbed “Fake News Ale”, the sessions-able ale was developed to offer a respite from the bleak political developments of late, an easy-drinking beer that lends itself to long discussions over world events with friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With tongue firmly in cheek, the beer was found to pair well with small hands, striking comb overs, huge egos and all things Mexican.<\/p>\n

Northern Maverick stands in solidarity with its American neighbours in their time of need for beer, which is why the Canadian company is offering to donate 5% of every “Fake News Ale” can sold, to help reverse a questionable policy. People will be invited to nominate and vote for which cause will receive the charitable donation on their website,\u00a0northernmaverick.ca<\/a>, in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Clearly no American president has endorsed this beer, but the company is offering beer-lovers VIP tour tickets, launch invitations and the opportunity to be the first to get their hands on “Fake News Ale” by following Northern Maverick on social media @NorthernMaverickBrewing on Instagram and Facebook, and @NorthernMavBeer on Twitter.<\/p>\n
