PRINCE GEORGE – According to health officials proper handwashing and disinfection are essential during this COVID-19 pandemic and Pacific Western Brewery has stepped up to help slow the spread of the deadly virus.

This week, the brewery tapped into their experience of distilling and produced hundreds of litres of hand sanitizer to be given to charity groups in the north.

At the beginning of the COVID pandemic the staff at Pacific Western Brewery noticed a shortage of hand sanitizers in the community. Brewery employees rallied and used their know-how to produce jugs of ethanol sanitizer. WATCH VIDEO:

Once the last 4 litre jugs were capped, Pacific Western Brewery staff began giving away the hand sanitizer to those community originations who could not get their regular supply.
