Burger (and pint) of the Month raises over $1,800 for MS Society

Sep 9, 2020 | 9:36 AM

Bam! August was the month to celebrate all things summer, to soak in the sunshine, and “The Pineapple Smash” was the perfect patio burger!

Adam Nachbaur of Snake Lake Brewing Company was the mastermind behind this backyard burger which included a grilled chicken breast, pineapple, pineapple teriyaki sauce, smoked gouda, jalapeño, tomato, pickle, lettuce, Kettle Crunch jalapeño chips, and pineapple jalapeño aioli on a brioche bun.

$2 from every burger sold, and thanks to the amazing support of our friends at Snake Lake Brewing Co. $1 from every Snake Lake pint sold, in August is going directly towards Adam’s charity of choice, the MS Society of Canada, Central Alberta Chapter.

Adam’s Mom suffers from MS, he also lost a Grandfather to the disease, so it’s been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. He was keen to help support anyone dealing with MS and their family members who are also navigating the disease.

Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world. On average, 11 Canadians are diagnosed every day. MS is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord). It’s an episodic disease which means the severity and duration of the illness and disability varies, with unpredictable effects.
