SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Le Moyne College says it has an agreement with Meier’s Creek Brewing Company for a fundraiser that involves a Le Moyne-themed beer.

The Cazenovia–based brewery will develop the beer that will be available for sale beginning in the first quarter of 2024.

Under the agreement, the Le Moyne will receive proceeds from 20 percent of all sales, which will go to the Le Moyne College Fund and be allocated toward the school’s wellness initiatives and student scholarship to help offset the cost of attendance, according to a Le Moyne news release.

The partnership was first announced at Le Moyne’s Founders’ Day Gala on Oct. 20, the school noted. The effort to bring the new beverage to market will unfold over the next several months, with a goal of premiering the brew through a series of alumni and donor-focused events. That includes Le Moyne in New York, a gala event scheduled to take place in New York City in March 2024.

Meier’s Creek Brewing was established in 2019, when its parent company, Feldmeier Equipment Co., purchased the Empire Farm Brewery in Cazenovia.

The Meier’s Creek taproom on Route 13 in Cazenovia opened in 2020 and has since upgraded the outdoor and indoor space at that location. In 2021, the business announced a second location, at the Inner Harbor in Syracuse, with that space opening in January 2022.

Crystal Paolelli, director of marketing at Meier’s Creek Brewing Company, said in the Le Moyne news release, that the business and Le Moyne have developed a “unique approach” to their partnership that will grow to include “students as we move through the various stages to provide hands-on experience and alumni involvement with the product development.”
