Support the Team at Strathcona

Published on March 24 by Caroline LLeave a comment

With all the uncertainty that we all face it is a time to come together to get through this ordeal. When I saw this come across my email I jumped in to help.

Superflux went from having zero website to launching an online store and beer delivery service in partnership with Strathcona Beer Company – all in under 24 hours. For just $5 per delivery, Vancouverites can order Superflux and Strathcona beer to their home for same-day or next-day delivery ($35 minimum order). 100% of the delivery fee goes directly to the team at Strathcona who have lost wages due to the effects of COVID-19 on the local economy. The initiative will also help Strathcona avoid any further lay-offs.

Within the first 4.5 hours of going live, nearly $3,000 worth of beer was sold and more than $200 was raised to give back to the staff.

Delivery is currently available only within the City of Vancouver and Superflux and Strathcona are hoping to add more breweries to help support others in the community.
