As a fire fighter for the last 45 years, he has come to the rescue of many older adults. A few years ago, Charlie started Uncle Charlie's Firehouse and Brew with his daughter Taryn. Today the two give back to their community by donating their home brew to Eskaton Foundation events. "We wanna help," said Charlie, pictured with here with Donald Levin at the Celebrations of CEOs event on June 14.  Some day Charlie and Taryn plan on obtaining a commercial licence to open their own brewery. Until then they will continue to give friends and guests free samples of their signature Blonde, Porter, and IPA. "We like to keep it under 6%, our Sheila's Blonde (3.5%) is light and refreshing," he says.   For more information about Eskaton Foundation click [here](http://www.eskaton.org/foundation/index.html).   ### Share This Post! - - - ## Get in touch!
