In Portland yesterday at the Lucky Labrador Brewing Company‘s Quimby Beer Hall they held a charity event to benefit the Search & Rescue organizations that participated in the Mt. Hood rescue in February.

In case you missed it, three climbers were on Oregon’s tallest mountain making their descent during a storm and fell over an icy cliff, falling 400-500 feet. They spent the night at about 7,400 feet above sea level trying to stay warm, and were helped by Miss Velvet, a labrador-mix owned by one of the climbers.

To honor this heroic canine, Lucky Labrador produced a new beer, Velvet Oatmeal Porter, specifically for this event.
