Brewery Holds Event, Unveils Special Beer to Honor Law Enforcement

A Virginia brewing company wants to salute law enforcement officers by releasing a special beer in honor of a fallen Prince William County, Virginia, officer.

The Tin Cannon Brewing Co, based in Gainesville, Virginia, will release a new amber ale called Heart of the Lion, brewed in honor of Officer Ashley Guindon, 28. She was killed on her first day of duty while responding to a domestic disturbance call in Woodbridge, Virginia.

The brewery will also honor injured Prince William County Officer David McKeown and Officer Jesse Hempen during an event at their location at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 26. Tickets are still available for the family friendly event.

Tin Cannon said they are hoping to have the event become an annual gathering to pay tribute to and honor law enforcement personnel from all over the area.
