H2: Montana volunteers at SF-Marin Food Bank

H2: Guinness Legends Lager benefits hunger relief

Montana teamed with Guinness on a limited-release Legends Lager tied to a charity push called Guinness Gives Back. The beer — described as a light, crispy wheat lager inspired by Montana’s travels — is sold only in the Bay Area. Guinness said $5 from every four-pack sold will go to the SF-Marin Food Bank. With 7,000 four-packs produced, the campaign could contribute up to $35,000 to local hunger relief.

H3: Local impact and volunteer reactions

Tanis Crosby, executive director of the SF-Marin Food Bank, welcomed Montana and credited him for helping spotlight the region’s food needs. Volunteers at the event said serving alongside the 49ers legend was meaningful — both as a personal experience and as a boost for the food bank’s work.

“Joe Montana is a legend, he’s a leader, he also has a really big heart and cares about ending hunger in our community,” Crosby said at the event.

H3: Limited release — how to support

The Legends Lager is available only in the Bay Area and is being offered for a short time. Fans who buy a four-pack not only get the commemorative beer but also help fund meals distributed across the food bank’s network. Montana encouraged people to enjoy the beer and “feel good about giving back.”

H4: More than a publicity moment

Beyond the publicity, Montana helped physically package produce, reinforcing the hands-on component of the campaign. Food bank staff noted Montana had visited before and called the return visit a valued show of ongoing support.

H5: A Super Bowl weekend note

In a light moment during the visit, Montana said he’d be flipping the coin at the Super Bowl and joked he was betting on the Seattle Seahawks to win that weekend — a small, personal touch amid a day focused on feeding neighbors.

H2: Why it matters

Northern California food banks continue to serve thousands of households facing food insecurity. Limited partnerships like the Legends Lager provide both funding and attention that help local food banks sustain distribution and outreach. Montana’s involvement put a spotlight on volunteer work, corporate giving and the simple act of packaging and distributing food to people in need.

For Bay Area readers: check local retailers for availability while supplies last and visit the SF-Marin Food Bank website to learn about volunteer opportunities or make a direct donation.
