Cheers! Bring a toy, get a beer at Tempe bar

Dec 4, 2012, 8:48 AM | Updated: 8:48 am

For the next two weeks at World of Beer, it’s bottoms up for toys.

The Mill Avenue bar is holding a toy drive for the Sunshine Acres Children’s Home in Mesa.

“You just bring in a new toy and we’ll buy you a local draft beer,” said JP Watts, the bar’s general manager. “We have about 20 to choose from on draft.”

The new unwrapped toys should be bought for kids between 5- and 18-years-old.

“We try to do something around the holidays to make sure some less fortunate kids get Christmas,” Watts said.

On Dec. 10, World of Beer will be partnering with Four Peaks Brewery to tap a new keg of Pumpkin Porter.

“We’re not even going to sell it. The only way you can get it is if you bring a toy in,” Watts said.

The toy drive runs until Dec. 16.

We want to hear from you.
