In Moby-Dick, Captain Ahab is obsessed with capturing the sperm whale that bit off his leg. Over the years, the famous whale has become a metaphor for sought-after beers; hence the name Whales for Wishes for this bottle sharing event. Attendees sample hard-to-find beers and hope to win some in raffles, all the while helping to grant wishes to local children. The goal is to raise over $18,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
