McDuff Beer:

Back by popular demand! The Virginia Beer Co. will be brewing McDuff Beer again! This limited-release cream ale style is a mild, easy-drinking, lager-like recipe. Glowing golden, this light-bodied brew has a touch of flaked corn added for a creamy, mildly sweet, clean finish.

McDuff Endowment Fund:

The McDuff Endowment Fund is a restricted fund that provides a safety net for the medical needs of homeless pets at The Heritage Humane Society. By making a gift to the McDuff Fund, you’re ensuring that the lifesaving mission of Greater Williamsburg’s largest shelter continues for many years to come.
