Two Alabama breweries are participating in the fifth annual Ales for ALS fundraiser.
Started in 2013 by hop producers B.T. Loftus Ranches, Inc. and Yakima Chief – Hopunion, the fundraiser raises money for ongoing research towards the development of new treatments and ultimately a cure for ALS.
Participating breweries are provided with a proprietary hop blend from both farms. Portions of proceeds from the sales of the resulting beer are donated to ALS Therapy Development Institute, a 501(3)c nonprofit based in Cambridge, MA.
Both Cahaba Brewing Company in Birmingham and Singin’ River Brewing Company in Florence are participating and expected to release their participating beers this summer.
