“Buy a beer and help the local food bank. Win, win.
For folks in Westmoreland and Washington counties, that soon will be a reality when Helltown Brewing and Ohio nonprofit Helping Hops partner to release ‘Hellping Hops.’
A portion of sales from the 6.5% ABV New England-style India pale ale will be split between the Westmoreland County Food Bank and the Greater Washington County Food Bank.
‘I believe $1.50 from every draft sale in our taprooms will go to the food banks,’ said Scott Strain, Helltown’s director of marketing and social media. ‘And then $1 from each four-pack sale, and $6 from a whole case will also go to the food banks.’
Helping Hops was started in 2017 with a mission of promoting social and environmental sustainability and aiding in local fundraising by ‘mobilizing the passion and generosity of the craft beer community,’ according to founder and president Andrew Stroh.
‘In short, we’re helping to offset some base costs of the beer, like ingredients, and we’re helping to organize the project with the food banks,’ Stroh said.
Strain said Helltown is planning to release Hellping Hops in time for Valentine’s Day, ‘but we’re not quite sure we’ll hit that deadline,” he said. ‘It’ll be within the next two to three weeks.’”
