Hops for Hope features brews for a good cause
Hops For Hope is an amazing celebration of community support
for the mission of Children's Flight of Hope
It pairs together brewery teams with corporate partners to fundraise
for us and to share the impact of our mission
with the community
Hops for Hope benefits Children's Flight of Hope which is
An organization headquartered here in the Raleigh market that flies
children to specialized care for care they can't get close
to home
The children we serve face rare and complex diagnoses and
often have to travel many times over many years and
we provide that travel for them free of charge
When a family faces a critical diagnosis for their child
their world is turned upside down
They're faced with great medical burdens financial burdens emotional burdens
and we step in to take one of those burdens
away from them and that is the cost of travel
which can be required many times over many years
We want them to be able to focus on the
health of their child without having to think about the
financial impact of getting to that life changing life saving
care
Fan and Goat Brewing Coy is a North Carolina nano
brewery that we started about 10 years ago here in
this location in Fuquave Arena
Really good craft beer
We really have the full gamut of what there is
available
Hopster Hope is an important event for us because it's
one of the many ways that we can give back
to the community at large
It pairs us up with some great
Local companies and it's just a fun event
We were looking for a partner uh that would would
help work with us and we could craft a beer
that we think could be a winner
Fein and Goat was an excellent partner that that we
strategize on what we think the crowd would like what
our personal tastes were and we really put together uh
we think a winner for this year
This year's beer is uh it's called Weather Alert Day
It's a hurricane cocktail inspired blonde ale
So we brew a blonde ale that has notes of
uh tropical fruit and then we'll add fruit purees orange
pineapple guava passion fruit key lime and cherry to the
beard to get that hurricane cocktail flavor to it
Everyone that knows the community everyone that's been in North
Carolina understands where the weather alert day is so the
ring to it and how it ties us to what
happens in this community is interesting
And we made a really crafty interesting beer that goes
along with that
Hops for Hope has been for us a good way
to be directly involved in the community
It's really given some meaning to why we want to
get out there and contribute
We're very excited about this 10th anniversary celebration
And over the years Hops for Hope has raised nearly
$3 million in support of our mission which has funded
hundreds and hundreds of round trip flights for families
It's an amazing opportunity for everyone in the community to
support our mission
