Veterans Blend Beer Benefits HunterSeven Foundation
Tennessee Brew Works and Yakima Chief Hops, a 100 percent grower-owned global supplier of premium quality hops located in the Pacific Northeast, are partnering to honor our nation’s veterans by creating a 2022 Veterans Blend beer, Hopped & Devoted hazy pale ale. The beer is available in draft and 16oz can 4-packs.
Hopped & Devoted hazy pale ale, ABV 5.2%, IBU 20, is a very easy drinker, with emphasis on fruity and citrus notes. It features the 2022 Veterans Blend from Yakima Chief Hops, which showcases five different Pacific Northwest-grown hop varieties, selected by a team of military veteran brewers across the country. Tennessee Brew Works head brewer and U.S. Army Veteran, Matt Simpson, was honored as a member of this committee.
The Veterans Blend is an annual blend, dedicated to providing a charitable donation to a new veteran-support organization each year. The fifth annual blend is comprised of HBC 586, Ekuanot, Idaho 7, Chinook and Triumph brand hops, providing a well-balanced mix of tropical, citrus, woody and sweet aromas.
Yakima Chief Hops is donating a portion of proceeds from all the Veterans Blend hop purchases, by Tennessee Brew Works and other supporting breweries across the country, to the HunterSeven Foundation, an organization that specializes in medical research and education specifically on the post 9/11 veteran cohort.
“It’s an honor to be able to connect veteran brewers with worthy support causes like HunterSeven–all the more special to do so surrounding something we all love and enjoy, beautiful hoppy beer!” said Spencer Tielkemeier, director of aales- North America, Yakima Chief Hops. “Yakima Chief Hops is proud to work with world-class brewers like Tennessee Brew Works on this year’s Veterans Blend.”
Tennessee Brew Works Head Brewer and U.S. Army veteran Matt Simpson, said, “It’s our honor to support veterans through organizations such as HunterSeven Foundation. We have a great appreciation for creating this limited beer alongside one of the premier hop suppliers, Yakima Chief, and so many other military veteran brewers across the United States.”
Hopped & Devoted was released at Tennessee Brew Works’ Taproom, 809 Ewing Ave Nashville. Veterans receive a discount with valid veteran’s ID at the Tennessee Brew Works Taproom.
Tennessee Brew Works will be on-hand for a special Hopped & Devoted release at theClass Six, 96 Michigan Ave, Fort Campbell, Ky., 3-6pm on Veteran’s Day, Friday, Nov 11.
