A dollar from each carton of Iron Jack sold in Australia will be donated to Rural Aid and 50 cents from each schooner of Iron Jack sold at selected regional venues to local relief efforts led by the charity.
Iron Jack features in the beer portfolio of Lion Beer, which has kicked off the campaign by donating $100,000 to Rural Aid’s Buy a Bale initiative.

Lion Beer’s managing director James Brindley said pubs and clubs had always been at the centre of country Australia.
“We are pleased to support Buy a Bale as well as various local projects led by Rural Aid, which will ensure the money from Iron Jack sales goes where it’s needed most,” he said.
“The Beers for the Bush campaign is about more than just raising funds. Local pubs and clubs are places where communities unite for a chat, a laugh, or to offer a quiet word of support when the chips are down.
“While a couple of beers with mates at your local isn’t going to break the drought, we want to let the hardest-hit communities know that they are not alone right now.”
