Beer lovers with a heart for giving back now have a perfect pairing at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse.
The restaurant chain partnered with the National MS Society to unveil a Mexican-style lager with a fitting name: "Cureveza."
BJ's will donate 25 cents for every pint brewed to the non-profit organization which is focused on finding a cure for multiple sclerosis.
Multiple Sclerosis, or MS as it's commonly called, is a disease of the central nervous system that disrupts communication between the brain and body and affects nearly 1 million Americans.

“We’re proud to support The National MS Society to help in the fight against a disease that affects so many,” said Alex Puchner, Senior Vice President of Brewery Operations at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse.
“We support this cause passionately at BJ’s, and it was a natural next step in our partnership to make a donation for every CureVeza™ pint brewed to support our community and foster scientific research for a cure.”
