Collaboration with Cape May Brewing Co., Tonewood Brewing, Urban Village Brewing Company, Source Brewing.
We’re proud to expand the impact of Friends Giving this year, both in our local communities as well as down in the greater DC area. We teamed up once again with our good friends at Tonewood, Cape May, Urban Village, and--newly added this year Source Brewing - - to brew a new version of our "pot-luck style IPA" at our brewery, with all of the proceeds going to support local charities. Friends Giving is an initiative of our CollaborAid charity, which has the mission of turning creativity, camaraderie, community, and collaboration into support for feeding local families struggling to put food on the table.
“Pot-luck style" means each brewer showed up to the brew day with their own selection of hops to contribute; which for this brew ended up including Idaho 7, Idaho 7 Cryo, Sabro, Amarillo, Simcoe, Cashmere, and Citra.
We’re also excited to announce a new Virginia branch of Friends Giving this year....with our friends at Solace Brewing hosting their own Friends Giving brew with us, Ocelot, Old Ox, and Crooked Run.
For 2020 we’re partnering with 4 awesome local organizations: Cathedral Kitchen, Virtua Mobile Farmers Market, Philabundance, and The Community FoodBank of NJ to help those in need right here in the New Jersey and the Philadelphia area that we call home.
Proceeds from the Virginia/DC Area Friends Giving will go to Loudon Hunger Relief, a charity fighting food insecurity in communities local to Solace, Ocelot, Crooked Run and Old Ox.

A: Pours a murky medium to dark golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate dark burnt orange + bright orange + bright yellow + copper + amber colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a couple of medium sized patches of thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/papaya + citrus/ruby red grapefruit + tropical/passionfruit + citrus/orange hops over the top of just shy of moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + wheat + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness.
T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + wheat + oat malts with a light to moderate amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/papaya + citrus/ruby red grapefruit + tropical/passionfruit + citrus/orange hops which impart a hint of bitterness which fades away very quickly leaving moderate lingering tropical hop flavors.
M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel though a touch on the lighter side. Enjoyable with lots of tropical + citrus hop flavors and aromas. I could easily have a couple of these.
