Sponsor can we morally seek sponsorship from a brewery

Local micro-breweries won't have this. Some possible alternatives though:

-Drop "Brewery" or "Distillery" after the name and just provide the name of the company on shirts or whatever.
-Ask to put the name of the CEO or founder as the sponsor instead of the brewery... for smaller shops this is often good enough given where the money is coming from.
-Ask them if they don't mind putting "21 means 21" or "don't drink and drive" or "drink responsibly" or something like that along with their sponsorship... gives you something for outreach and safety while also netting a sponsor.

Personally, I think this is a brilliant idea and I think we may have some new sponsors soon.
