Marc and Audrey Leishman Giving Back Through Proceeds from Beer

Leishman Beer

By HELEN ROSS, PGATOUR.COM

Not everyone can go in a restaurant and order a beer that bears your name — not to mention, one that you helped create.

Marc Leishman can, though.

Three years ago, the Aussie partnered with Back Bay Brewery to create Leishman Lager to serve at a gala for the Begin Again Foundation that he and his wife Audrey started after she recovered from a life-threatening bout with toxic shock syndrome, sepsis and acute respiratory syndrome.

What originally was slated for a one-month limited release has proven extremely successful and remains a year-round feature at the brewery in Virginia Beach, where Audrey grew up and the couple lives with their three young children. It can be bought in grocery stores and ordered in about 100 local restaurants, bars and 19th holes in the area, with a portion of the proceeds going to the foundation.
