THE GIVING TAP
The Giving Tap is about connectivity.
Each month we feature one of our handcrafts or guest beer on The Giving Tap
and we donate one dollar from each draft sold during the month
to a local non-profit or charitable organization.
It is our hope that you learn something new in and about your community each month.
We hope we inspire you to get involved and volunteer time and/or services.
Consider partnering with an additional monetary donation.
But at the very least, have a beer! We look forward to pouring your
very own rewarding Giving Tap selection! Cheers!
Must be 21 or older with valid identification to order alcohol.
Always drink responsibly.

Handcraft: Pumpkin Ale
Recipient: A fundraiser in memory of Mike Petershack
This January, Krogh's is honored to dedicate our Giving Tap to the memory of Mike Petershack, a pillar of our community whose passing has deeply affected so many. While we typically support non-profit organizations, we felt compelled to help ease the burden on Mike's family as they navigate this difficult new year. Mike was a lifelong resident, dedicating his career to public service, first with the Jefferson Department of Public Works and later with the Hardyston Police Department, where he served as an officer, detective, and L.E.A.D. instructor before retiring in 2023.
Beyond his service, Mike was a devoted family man, finding his greatest joy in being a husband and father. He poured his heart into coaching his children's sports teams and supporting Sparta Youth Softball.
Mike is survived by his wife, Sharon, and their children, Ella (11) and Wesley (8). As we look ahead to new beginnings in 2026, let us remember Mike's legacy of service, generosity, and love for his family. A dollar from every Giving Tap draft sold this month will go directly towards supporting Ella and Wesley's education. While the pain of his absence will always be felt, we hope to help Sharon, Ella, and Wesley move forward, carrying Mike's spirit with them. Additional donations to the family can also be made through the GoFundMe link provided on this page.

Krogh's is proud to sponsor the Sussex County YMCA, a nonprofit organization, for December through our Giving Tap program, and we are giving back $1 from each draft sold on that tap to the Sussex County YMCA. Currently, our Boilermaker Pumpkin Ale is on that tap, and this is our delicious pumpkin ale that has been aged with whiskey and oak chips. The proceeds generated from the Giving Tap will support the Y's fundraising efforts that provide financial assistance and free programs, so no one is turned away because of cost, and everyone has a chance to be part of the community. Cheers!

Handcraft: Grapefruit Harley's Helles / Boilermaker Pumpkin
Recipient: Samaritan Inn
November is National Homeless Awareness Month, and Krogh's is proud to support Samaritan Inn through our Giving Tap. Samaritan Inn provides emergency food and temporary shelter to people in need in Sussex County, "keeping the door open and the light on for the homeless." As a non-profit organization, they offer 14 fully equipped apartments where families can work toward stable housing for themselves and their children in a safe, home-like environment.
In 1977, Sr. Thomasina Gebhard, PhD, established a program providing supportive guidance, food, and shelter with the assistance of friends and associates during an economic crisis. Today, Samaritan Inn continues this vital mission.
This month, enjoy a beer from our Giving Tap. Krogh's will donate $1 to Samaritan Inn for every draft sold. We invite you to raise a pint (21+) and offer hope to families in need within Sussex County.
As the holidays approach and the weather gets colder, there are more ways to support Samaritan Inn's efforts. They have an Amazon Wish List of needed items, and every contribution helps. During this month of giving thanks for our blessings and plentiful tables, let's remember the families in our community who need our help. Thank you, Samaritan Inn, for your important work.

Our new Giving Tap recipient is on a mission, a mission to enhance the lives of those faced with intellectual and developmental disabilities!

Recipient: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital & Sparta VFW Post #7248
POUR A PINT, CHANGE A LIFE: KROGH'S GIVING TAP FUNDRAISER SUPPORTS ST. JUDE & LOCAL VETERANS
This month, Krogh's Restaurant & Brew Pub is partnering with I-Heart Radio's 102.3 WSUS, 103.7 NNJ, 106.3 THE BEAR, and the Ray of Hope Foundation to launch a month-long Giving Tap fundraiser! We're uniting to support two incredible organizations: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and our very own Sparta VFW Post #7248.
WHY THESE CAUSES MATTER:
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located in Memphis, TN, is at the forefront of pediatric cancer research and treatment. They're dedicated to finding cures and providing free care – including travel, housing, and food – to patients and their families, regardless of their ability to pay. Their breakthroughs are shared worldwide, training healthcare professionals and giving hope to countless families facing unimaginable challenges.
Sparta VFW Post #7248 is a vital resource for veterans from all branches of the military right here in our community. They offer a supportive environment where veterans can connect, share their experiences, access essential resources, and find camaraderie. From honoring military achievements to providing crucial support programs, the Sparta VFW Post fosters a sense of belonging and ensures our veterans receive the appreciation and assistance they deserve.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
We've created two delicious (and effortless) ways for you to make a difference!
The Giving Tap: Order our featured beer of the month, Blum's Belgian Wit, and Krogh's will donate $1 for every draft sold! Our Witbier is an unfiltered Belgian wheat beer, offering subtle flavors of orange and coriander. The word "wit" means "white," referring to the beer's cloudy appearance due to the wheat. This refreshing and easy-to-drink seasonal is the perfect pint for a good cause.
The Invisible Mac & Cheese: Indulge in everyone's favorite comfort food... without lifting a fork! Order the "Invisible Mac & Cheese" for $10, and the full amount goes directly to supporting St. Jude families and our local veterans. It's the easiest (and most generous) mac & cheese you'll ever enjoy! It's on our menu!
JOIN US IN GIVING BACK:
Strong communities are built on shared hope and quiet generosity. We invite you to visit Krogh's this month, enjoy a great meal and a refreshing drink, and help us support these two exceptional organizations. We look forward to serving you and making a real difference, together!
