Left Hand Brewing Co. said it signed with the national nonprofit Soldiers’ Angels to brew a custom recipe, Homefront IPA, to raise funds to support U.S. service members, veterans, and their families.
The announcement by the veteran-owned Longmont, Colo. brewery marks the ninth craft beer company to collaborate on this year’s “Hops for Heroes” campaign, which helps fund Soldiers’ Angels’ national and international support programs. Other breweries participating in the program include Founders Brewing Co. (Grand Rapids and Detroit, Mich.), Center of the Universe Brewing (Ashland, Va.), and Karbach Brewing (Houston, Tex.).
Soldiers’ Angels is a national nonprofit headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, founded in 2003 by the family of General George Patton. Through its global network of tens of thousands of volunteers, it fulfills its mission of providing aid, comfort, and resources to the military, veterans, and their families through a variety of ways— from shipping care packages to deployed service members to providing food assistance to low-income and homeless veterans, and more.
Left Hand Brewing plans to release its version of Homefront IPA in its tap room on Memorial Day, May 30.
All net proceeds from sales of Homefront IPA will be donated to Soldiers’ Angels to support its service programs, which provided assistance to more than 982,000 service members, veterans, wounded heroes, and their families in 2021 alone.
