All net profits from the sales of Little Monkey will go directly to PZDK Brew’s owner Illia Godina to help support his family and business.
“Seeing the devastating impact of the Russian war on Ukraine, and on the people who live there, brought back memories of my childhood in Zimbabwe,” said Jeremy Cook, owner of Missing Link Brewing.

Jeremy said Illia responded and they both came up with the Little Monkey recipe over WhatsApp.
“The result is a new seven percent ABV New England-style hazy beer with tropical aromas and a juicy taste,” said Jeremy, adding that the project is about showing solidarity with Ukraine.

Illia said he is a volunteer in Ukraine’s territorial defence and was touched when Jeremy reached out.
He said: “I feel his support – we are brothers in beer.”
“When this war is over I want to meet Jeremy and drink a beer together; to celebrate our freedom and friendship,” he added.
Little Monkey can be pre-ordered from www.missinglinkbrewing.com and orders will be shipped from March 28.
