Battle of the Breweries


Battle of the Breweries Logo

Since 2000, recycling the little aluminum tabs from cans has generated over $400,000 for our Ronald McDonald House®. We are so grateful to our community partners for making this program possible. Pop Tab collecting is an easy and thoughtful way to support our families and our environment!

As our House is located in “Brew City,”  it only made sense to partner with incredible local brewers and entrepreneurs in our community who create canned beverages to collect pop tabs. Thus in 2023, the “Battle of the Breweries” was born.

Our first competition was a neck and neck race between Third Space Brewing and Broken Bat Brewing, with Third Space coming out on top with 40 pounds of pop tabs collected!

From November 1, 2023 through Tab Toss Day on May 11, 2024, eight local breweries will compete to see who can collect the most tabs. This is where you come in!

Battle of the Breweries 2023
