With the record breaking Camp fire leaving horrific destruction of property (see below), and displacement of tens of thousands of residents, in Butte Co., CA, direct monetary donations have been coming in to help those most directly affected.
But here’s an enjoyable way to continue that fundraising for disaster assistance —
To further raise funds for fire relief, Sierra Nevada has created an IPA called Resilience IPA, with 100 percent of sales going to the Camp Fire fund. The brewery’s founder, Ken Grossman, then called on every brewery in America to brew the same beer, providing the recipe for Resilience so others could replicate it and donate further proceeds to the fund. Malt and hop suppliers have also said they will donate raw ingredients for the brewing of this beer.
More than 400 breweries have signed on as of this week, according to craftbeer.com. Sierra Nevada will begin brewing 2,000 barrels of Resilience (almost 500,000 pints) on November 27, so-called “Giving Tuesday,” with the goal of having this beer on shelves by early 2019. thetakeout.com/...
The number of breweries participating is now more than 1,600. Since the breweries include those small and large, and scattered across the country (and beyond), you should be able to find one near you that will be selling Resilience IPA, either at their local taproom or in cans and crowlers.
If you’re not a beer drinker, some of the other companies participating include a cider maker and a magazine.
Resilience IPA is expected to be available beginning in Jan. 2019.
