Raising CID awareness for a mate still in our hearts

The Cardiac Inherited Diseases Group (CIDG) and Tuatara Brewery have been working together for the past five years to raise awareness about the little-known Cardiac Inherited Disease in memory of a Tuatara team member.

Matthew Lang, an Auckland Regional Sales Rep for Tuatara Brewery, passed away suddenly in his sleep in December 20, 2013, at the age of 27 from Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) - just one type of Cardiac Inherited Disease (CID).

Matt loved massively hoppy, Pliny-like pale ales, so each year, close to the anniversary of his death, Tuatara brew the Matt Lang Memorial Brew. Proceeds from the sale of the beer are used to fund further AED’s and distributed by CIDG to children and adults diagnosed with the disease.

This year the initiative has been co-hosted or ‘co-brewed’ with another of Matts employers, Joylab (formerly Barworks), who spearhead some of Auckland’s best known gastrobars. It’s allowed the beer quantity to be doubled, with the hope of increasing the fundraising efforts for this worthy cause.

Joylab’s Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen have wholeheartedly supported this year’s extended reach by hosting the collaboration brew and providing the venue for the Auckland launch.

Purchase the Matt Lang Memorial IPA from Joylab establishments Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen, The Merchant, Moretons, The Elephant Wrestler and The Zookeepers Son while stocks last.
