DETROIT (FOX 2) - Eastern Market Brewing Co. will tap a beer this weekend that will help people in Ukraine.
Proceeds from RESIST Anti-Imperial Stout will be donated to UNICEF, an organization that helps children around the world. In the spirit of Ukraine, the beer has beetroot in it to give the brew a borscht-inspired taste.
