Rising Hope Brew Day at Mike Hess Brewing? Count us in. 🍻💛
A few weeks ago, our team rolled up our sleeves and joined Mike Hess Brewing for a brew day that was about something much bigger than b**r.
Mike Hess Brewing is one of the breweries helping lead Rising Hope, the signature b**r of the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation Brewing Funds the Cure program, which brings breweries and industry partners together to raise funds for childhood cancer research. And this year’s West Coast Rising Hope recipe sounds GOOD.
🍺 West Coast Pilsner
Brewed with Tchecomalt Pilsen, Wheat, and Vienna malts, and finished with Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops. Look for it this September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!
So, how does Rising Hope work?
Breweries across the country can join the program by brewing one of two Rising Hope recipes, with proceeds from every pint supporting the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation and its mission to fund research for better, less toxic treatments for childhood cancer.
To help make those brews happen, Rising Hope partners receive donated ingredients from Country Malt Group, along with a recipe card, custom tap handles, and promotional materials to support their release.
We’re incredibly proud to play a part by donating ingredients to participating breweries across the country. Because when breweries, suppliers, and b**r lovers come together, a pint can do a whole lot more than taste good. 💛
And there’s more Rising Hope on the way! Florida Avenue Brewing Co. is getting ready to brew the East Coast Pilsner version, so stay tuned. 👀🍺
Huge thanks to the team at Mike Hess Brewing for having us for brew day.
Great b**r. Greater cause. Here’s to raising a pint for Rising Hope. 🍻💛
