Fake Beer Bottles Benefit Real Charity

Schlafly Brewing's April Fool's Day prank--a batch of 'lyte' beers--are being auctioned for the Gateway Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Schlafly Beer's April Fool's Day prank is having some very real benefits for a St. Louis foundation. 

Schlafly introduced a mock YouTube video this week featuring their new light beers, Schlaf Lyte, Schlaf Lyte Light, and Schlaf Lyte Fancy. Bottles produced by Schlafly are currently being auctioned on eBay to benefit. (If you're hoping they'll have beer in them, though, you're out of luck.)

Sets of three bottles are currently auctioning for around $50; single bottles are auctioning from $1-$10. (Shipping, luckily, is free.)
