About
Some things are so good, you've got to wonder what you'd do with out them. Take beer for example. Isn't it amazing what the right combination of water, barley and hops can do for an otherwise awkward moment?
But what if beer could be made even better? What if by drinking a beer, you could do something incredible for someone else? That's what Shebeen is all about...it's a bar in Melbourne that will allow you to grab a drink and give something back.
How? Well, Shebeen is a non-profit bar. It's really very simple. Exotic beers and wines from the developing world are sold at Shebeen. Profits from each drink sale support a development project in that drink's country of origin.
So, buying an Ethiopian beer guarantees a microfinance loan for someone in Ethiopia. Buying a Vietnamese beer provides a street kid in Hanoi with hospitality training. You can read more about Shebeen in The Age here.
But brace yourself, here's the bad news: Shebeen isn't open YET. We're getting closer and closer, but we're still securing start-up funding. You can find out more about the Shebeen Social Investment Fund or, if your wallet is burning a tidy little hole in your pocket, why not donate right now!
Thirsty for more? Plenty of Shebeen brews are already being sold in Melbourne bars so you can get a taste of Shebeen to come right now.
