Container Brewing is hosting a beer and pierogi fundraiser this weekend
This weekend, there’s another way to enjoy local food and drink while supporting humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
In collaboration with Russian Spoon Bakery and the charity Ukrainian Blue Yellow Art, Container Brewing is hosting a Beer and Pierogi Day on Sunday, April 24.
The Russian Spoon, a bakery located in Harbour Centre’s food court, recently chose to turn off the part of their illuminated sign that says “Russian” as a gesture of solidarity with Ukraine.
They’ve been serving Eastern European fare from that location for the last nine years, and for this fundraiser, they’ll be donating 200 pierogis, with 100% of the profits going to Ukrainian Blue Yellow Art.

Ukrainian Blue Yellow Art is a Vancouver-based organization that was formed after the start of the war in Ukraine in late February. They sell hand-made crafts – an activity deeply-rooted in Ukrainian culture – to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine
Container will be brewing a special beer for the occasion. The Frau Ribbentrop, a Belgian-style wit beer, is brewed using a special recipe shared by the Pravda Beer Theatre in Lviv, Ukraine. $500 worth of the proceeds of beer sales will go to Ukrainian Blue Yellow Art’s efforts.
The Beer and Pierogi Day will go down from 12 pm to 7:30 pm but plan to get there early before they sell out.
