We’ve Kicked Off #ProStartWeek at Willie Brew 🍺

/in , , /by

We’re proud to be participating in #ProStartWeek here at Willimantic Brewing Company — and we’re inviting our community to be part of it.

ProStart, through the Connecticut Restaurant Association, helps high school students explore careers in culinary arts and restaurant management. It’s a hands-on program that builds real-world skills, mentorship connections, and pathways into Connecticut’s hospitality industry. As a long-standing brewpub rooted in this community, supporting the next generation of chefs, managers, and hospitality professionals is something we deeply believe in.

How You Can Help

It’s simple:

  • Stop in for a bite and a brew (view menu)

  • Make a donation to the Connecticut Restaurant Association ProStart fundraiser

  • Receive a $10 bounce-back certificate as our thank-you

You’ll enjoy great foodOur Menu and fresh beer crafted onsite — and you’ll also be investing in students who may one day be leading kitchens, managing dining rooms, or even opening their own restaurants right here in Connecticut.

Hospitality is about more than what’s on the plate or in the glass. It’s about mentorship, opportunity, and building a strong future for our industry.

Join us this week, support #ProStartWeek, and help us raise a glass to the next generation of hospitality leaders.
