Join Ales for ALS this Saturday, July 18 for a kickoff event at Bale Breaker Brewing’s taproom in Yakima. This is the official launch of the annual Ales for ALS program. Details about the event are below.
Ales for ALS is a program created by Loftus Ranches and Hop Union to benefit ALS research (ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Each year Loftus Ranches (one of Washington’s esteemed hop farms) and Hop Union create a unique, exclusive blend of hops that participating breweries use to create beers that benefit the cause. This year five Washington breweries and four Oregon breweries are involved in the program (listed below). In all, more than 70 breweries across the country will produce beers using the ALS hop blend.
This year, the Ales for ALS hop blend is a combination of Equinox, Mosaic, and five experimental hop varieties. To be clear, this does not mean each brewery will use each of those seven hops. Rather, Loftus and Hop Union have created one unique hop that is a blend of those seven hops. That’s what each brewery will use.
Below is a short video with more information about Ales for ALS.
