Scofflaw has Pledged Over $400,000 for Donations through Partnerships like Giving Kitchen and Bottleshare
“We are pleased to extend our partnership with GIVING KITCHEN. Their mission resonates with SCOFFLAW BREWING COMPANY ongoing commitment to provide assistance to hospitality industry employees, including our own.

“We are grateful to MATT SHIRAH and SCOFFLAW BREWING CO., not only for extending their generous financial commitment, but for also spreading the word that GIVING KITCHEN helps food service workers,” says GIVING KITCHEN’s Co-Founder and Senior Director of Community Engagement, JEN HIDINGER-KENDRICK. “As we work to create a community where crisis is met with compassion and care, we want every food service worker to know that they can ask for help from GK. As our community continues to face devastating challenges, partnerships like this hope to instill the commitment we share to uplift our community when they need it most.”
SCOFFLAW and GIVING KITCHEN, both founded in Atlanta, are working together to increase awareness of the agency’s mission throughout Georgia and most recently in Tennessee, where both organizations recently added to their regional markets. GIVING KITCHEN expects to add more states as resources allow.
With this agreement, SCOFFLAW has pledged over $400,000 for donations through partnerships like GIVING KITCHEN, ATL Family Meal and Bottleshare in Georgia, KultureCity in Alabama, and the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association since March 2020. With each partnership, SCOFFLAW has committed to support hospitality service workers in need of financial assistance.
This news follows SCOFFLAW’s announcement earlier this year that Wade Honeycutt joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. With more than a decade of experience advising beverage brands across the globe, Wade has sourced and structured debt and equity transactions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia. Most recently he worked with well-known beer brands such as Dogfish Head, New Belgium, Stone, BrewDog, and Beavertown among others.
This year marks SCOFFLAW’s five-year anniversary. They are commemorating the milestone in typical SCOFFLAW fashion by throwing a family-friendly celebration called SCOFFLAW Fifth Freaking Anniversary Party at their brewery, 1738 MacArthur Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA.
