When most people (in the Boston area at least) hear the name Jerry Bowser, they are more likely to think of the professional wrestler known as “The Boston Brawler.”
Thirteen years ago, Bowser suffered a stroke and was told that his career and maybe even his ability to walk was over.
Two years ago, Bowser pushed a 600-lb wheelbarrow around Washington DC to raise awareness and funds for wounded soldiers through the Semper Fi Fund,
To honor this local legend, Democracy Brewing has produced a special beer that evokes strength and endurance. Brewed with caramel and maple-smoked malts, Boston Brawler Bock is now available at the downtown beer hall and eatery and proceeds will be donated to Mass General Hospital.
On St. Patrick’s Day, guests will have a chance to meet the Brawler, as well as some Bruins legends, all while listening to a live Irish pipe band starting at 5 PM.
While at Democracy, be sure to try their amazing beer pretzel or their weekly entertainment calendar that includes film series, live comedy and music, and Friday night sing-alongs with another local legend, piano master Mel Stiller.
So even if you can’t lift a 600-pound pile of rocks (let alone carry it around the nation’s capital), we can all lift a glass to honor The Brawler and to support his many good works.
