Michael Potorti, Founder/Brewer explained, “I ran the Chief Maloney Unity 10K Run in April and was happy to be a part of that special day. The ale is the least we can do to support those who protect and serve and give back to the community that supported us.”

Rachel C. Castellez-Davidson, secretary, Board of Directors of the Fund added, “Michael and Beara Irish Brewing Co. have thought of a brilliant way to support the Chief Michael Maloney Memorial Fund by creating this special brew to share with the Seacoast. A portion of each glass of Maloney 260 Ale that is purchased will be donated to the Fund. So let’s raise a glass of ale, to raise funds in memory of 260!”
