Water Challenge

Pacific Pilsner and PWB are committed to creating quality, refreshing beverages and to supporting communities throughout BC by nurturing our shared environment.

Water plays a key role in our communities. It is a source of life. It quenches our thirst, nourishes our gardens, refreshes us in the heat, is home to our fish and other marine life, and creates fun and vibrant community places like beaches, parks and skating and hockey rinks year round.

Proceeds from Pacific Pilsner and PWB will be used to support the clean-up of streams, rivers or lakes in beautiful British Columbia. We will be selecting one or more community water clean-up projects with funding and other tools this summer.
