As you know, California has recently (and still is) suffered from devastating fires across their state. What you may not know is that in an effort to help support relief efforts Sierra Nevada announced a nation wide brewing collaboration. You can read more here.
Long story short Sierra Nevada will be brewing Resilience Butte County Proud IPA and donating 100% of sales to Camp Fire relief. In addition, they also asked every brewery in America to brew Resilience and do the same. But that’s not all.
