Sage’s Legacy
We are reaching out to share something deeply heartfelt that has inspired us to take action. In February of last year, Andrew Pearman, an exceptional member of the Motus Transport team based here in Newcastle (The guys who delivery 90% of our beer & also most of the good Indie pack beer around the local bottleshops), tragically lost his beloved son, Sage, just before his 7th birthday in 2024. Witnessing the profound impact on Andrew and his wife, Loz, has moved us deeply, and we feel compelled to rally our incredible hospitality community to support them during this challenging time.
With the support of Andrew’s employer (Motus Transport), we are organizing an event to honour what would have been Sage’s 8th birthday on Thursday, February 27, 2025, and to raise awareness for Autism Awareness Australia. As part of this event, we are collaborating with close brewery partners [Mountain Culture, Capital, Akasha & BentSpoke] to create a special beer that reflects Sage’s passions and personality – he loved trees/nature/animals/Flowers, the bush & the beach, was a huge lover of climbing and even though he was nonverbal he loved to wrestle and rough & tumble. Sage’s favourite colours were red, yellow & orange.
We will have some auction items and raffle tickets available on the night. Mountain Culture, Capital, Akasha, and Bentspoke are all brewing beers for the night, and they will be flowing, with the proceeds of these kegs going to the cause. This collective effort aims to celebrate Sage’s life and establish a lasting legacy in his honour.
It would be awesome to have the Grain Store community get behind Andrew & his family on the night by getting into the venue on Thursday 27th Feb from 6pm.
