Over 1400 Breweries Nationwide, 17 Locally Join Forces To Help Those Impacted By California Wildfire

CHARLOTTE, NC — Grabbing a pint never felt so good thanks to a new effort to raise money for those impacted by the recent devastating wildfires in California. Over 1,400 craft breweries across the country have agreed to join together in hopes of raising $15 million for the Camp Fire Relief Fund.

To help raise money, Sierra Nevada founder, Ken Grossman, whose brewery was located at the bottom of the hills where the Camp Fire first broke out, decided to create a new beer called Resilience: Butte County Proud IPA. The idea was to sell Resilience in local breweries and tap rooms all over the United States, and donate 100% of the proceeds to the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief Fund.

After reaching out to breweries all across the country, more than 1,400 joined Grossman’s call to help those impacted by the fires. The beers will be made locally by each brewery, Grossman says, using his recipe and provided ingredients.

Across the WCCB viewing area, 17 breweries have signed up. Those breweries include:

  • Wooden Robot Brewery – Charlotte
  • Triple C Brewing – Charlotte
  • NoDa Brewing Company – Charlotte
  • Salud Cerveceria – Charlotte
  • Suffolk Punch Brewing – Charlotte
  • The Unknown Brewing Company – Charlotte
  • Bold Missy Brewery – Charlotte
