4 Hands Brewing Co. President Kevin Lemp has long made community impact as core to the brewery’s identity as the beer itself. As he shared on The Sauce podcast episode that aired earlier this week, philanthropy isn’t a side project: it’s integral to the brand. Here he shares the brewery’s top five recent philanthropic collaborations.
Tornado Action Relief with Action St. Louis
“4 Hands partnered with Action St. Louis to create Tornado Action Relief, developing a custom T-shirt and donating 100% of proceeds. The effort raised $11,367 for those affected by the storm.”
The Holiday McGift Shoppe with Ronald McDonald House
“This annual volunteer event is one the team has participated in for years, first discovered when Ronald McDonald House became a City Wide beneficiary. It’s a meaningful chance for leadership to work hands-on in giving back.”
City Wide American Pale Ale
“City Wide is the brewery’s flagship philanthropic brand – now the No. 1 selling craft beer in St. Louis – and has generated over $400,000 for local nonprofits, partnering with 36 organizations to date.”
Pedal the Cause Lager
“Launched in 2024, this partnership introduced a Pedal the Cause Lager featured at Dierbergs in collaboration with Big Shark Bikes. Pedal the Cause was also selected as a City Wide recipient for 2025.”
City Wide Pride in collaboration with PROMO Missouri
“This annual Pride Month release donates $1 per case to PROMO Missouri, supporting their statewide mission and reinforcing 4 Hands’ commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy.”
