🤘🍺🤘Our friends at Ogle County Brewery are brewing up a special new beer, from a classic Ukrainian based recipe. A portion of proceeds, from the sales of this new brew, will be donated to aid the continued efforts of the Ukrain, battling against the invasion of their country. The crew here at FnChefn encourages y'all to stop by OCB to try their new beer...and all their great locally crafted brews! 🤘 🤘

As we hope everyone stands against the war in the Ukraine we are making a Ukrainian based recipe beer. We are going to name it the F@%& putin. I put the war criminals name in lower case because he is less than a human and deserves no respect as a human being. We will be sending a portion of the proceeds to aid those in the Ukraine. God bless the brave people in the Ukraine.
