BUFFALO, N.Y. — For the 3rd year in a row, Big Ditch Brewing Company is teaming up with the YMCA to celebrate the Turkey Trot.

Big Ditch unveiled 'Turkey Trotter' on Tuesday. The beer is described as a blonde ale featuring crackery malt flavors and light fruity hops. President and co-founder of Big Ditch Brewing Company Matt Kahn calls it an honor to work with the YMCA Buffalo Niagara, saying "This year, we’ve tweaked the recipe slightly to add a touch more hoppiness, making it even more refreshing. But the best part of this partnership is that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this beer will be donated to YMCA Buffalo Niagara, helping to support their mission of strengthening the WNY community,"

This year, Big Ditch Brewing and YMCA are giving away six free entries to the race. The contest, features six stickers attached to the underside of Turkey Trotter 6-pack rings. If you find a winning sticker, you’ll receive one free entry to this year’s Buffalo Turkey Trot!  Turkey Trotter is available beginning Thursday, October 3.
