n Saturday, August 12, World of Beer located in Destin Commons held its 
charity fundraiser for the South Walton Turtle Watch. 100% of the money spent 
on any Terrapin product (draft, bottle, or can), was donated in order to help the 
Turtle Watch protect and preserve one of the area’s most amazing wild animals. 

If a customer felt obliged to donate specifi cally to their cause, the donation was accepted and 
100% of that purchase was given directly to their group. World of Beer holds one charity event a 
month where the proceeds go to a different charity of choice.  

The Terrapin products specifi cally offered during the event included: Hopsecutioner IPA, 

Maggie’s Peace, Hi-5 IPA, Single Origins Brown Ale Ecuador, Mosaic, T= Time Berliner 
Weisse, and Recreation Ale. 

The South Walton Turtle Watch is a group of volunteers whose purpose is to locate 

endangered and threatened sea turtle nests and to protect them along the beaches of NW Florida 
during the crucial nesting and hatching season. By law, only certifi ed members are allowed to 
interact with endangered sea turtles. Sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act and 
only those with special permits are allowed to touch the nests, turtles, or hatchlings. Volunteers 
are required to receive in depth training and obtain those special permits before working with the 
sea turtles.
