SOMERDALE, N.J. -
The keg is tapped on Flying Fish's special brew with a special name at P. J. Whelihan's in Cherry Hill.
The beer's actually called "Forever Unloved Sandy"--but most just abbreviate the name
There were a lot of bad feelings about the storm and we wanted the name to have a Jersey attitude and a name people won't forget, " explained Gene Muller, president of Flying Fish. We came up with 'Forever Unloved ' and we liked the way it abbreviated.
Muller says proceeds from the sale of the suds will be poured into the Hurricane Sandy relief effort.
"We're giving every penny to charity," said Muller.
The Somerdale, New Jersey based brewery plans to raise $50,000 dollars.
They' ve already sold out the 86 and a half kegs of the special wheat-pale ale mix.
Helping the company raise $43,000 so far.
He hopes to raise the rest by selling T-shirts and pint glasses online.
"I spent my entire life going to the shore and here's a chance to kind of give something back."
Now when you go to some New Jersey and Philly area bars, you'll be able to raise your pints for a purpose.
"My one sister had her house decimated by Sandy. So yes, it hits home," explained Michael Perro, Director of Operations at P. J. Whelihan's. "It's fantastic and a great idea. We're really happy to be part of it. Flying Fish did a great job with this .

Not the prettiest Friday, but we're ready for a great weekend. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. After an early high in the upper sixties, temperatures fall & winds pick up out of the chillier northwest. Right now the Memorial Day Weekend looks sunny and cool with highs in the low to mid 60s on Saturday, in the 70s Sunday & Monday. Cooler temps at the shore.
