Brian Quinn of Impractical Jokers turns brewery into hand sanitizer plant for frontline workers
NEW YORK - Staten Island native and star of TruTV's Impractical Jokers, Brian "Q" Quinn, has pulled off his best stunt yet--turning beer from his brewery into hand-sanitizer for those on the frontlines.
Back in September, Quinn resurrected the iconic Staten Island-based Rubsam and Hormann brewing company and just as the endeavor started to take off, the coronavirus pandemic forced restaurants and bars to shutter or drastically alter their business. R&H, however, found a creative way to ensure the beer didn't go to waste.
Chief operating officer Cara S. Gordan discovered Kings County Distillery in Brooklyn was converting beer donations into hand sanitizer-she said Quinn didn't hesitate to help.
R&H Brewery donated nearly 1,500 gallons of beer which yielded almost 1,000 bottles of hand sanitizer and chose to deliver bottles to frontline workers all over Staten Island.
