Highland Brave

Finally seeing an L.A version of Brave Noise. From Highland Park Brewery.

“Brave Noise is a worldwide collaboration with one big goal: a safe & discrimination-free bee industry. HPB is very proud to be a participating brewery in the Brave Noise campaign & hope it helps push for continued growth & accountability in our industry.

It is a 6%ABV hazy west coast pale ale hopped with Citra, Copper, & Nelson hops. We’re very excited to be using Michigan grown Copper hops from HopHead Farms for the first time ever, such a rad hop! This beer explodes with aromas of tangerine, lime caviar, green gummy bear, & bright lemon zest.

A portion of proceeds from Brave Noise will be going to support @ihollagram. An organization that has a mission aimed to end harassment in all its forms by transforming the culture that perpetuates hate & harassment. They carry out this mission by building the power of everyday people to create safe & welcoming environments for all. Check out their page to learn more about Hollaback & to see how you can support.”

A Bit Silent

Scrolling through beer social media (except for Twitter), I have seen posts about the Brave Noise beer project and have been heartened to see breweries around the country signing on to help with the cause of making sure that women get treated (as they should already be) as well as men.

But when it comes to Los Angeles, this is the lone post…

I will grant you that the SoCal Cerveceros have cachet in the wider beer world but I thought there would be more action. I will grant that Smog City recently did a beer conceived and created by the women who work there so they get a pass but it would have been great to see other places do it as well.

I do not sit in on brew day decisions or brewing schedules and maybe Oktofest beers were filling tanks so there was no space but not even a one off batch on the R&D brewing set-up? Or designate a weekend where a beer is the Brave Noise sub?

This post isn’t to shame a brewery because I know this community does A LOT of charity. More than I know about probably but it just seems odd and a bit disheartening that there wasn’t a few beers on shelves or on taps.

Brave Noise

OK. Two things for you beer fans to do and they are both simple.

One – Read THIS. Do not TL:DR it. Read it.

Two – Buy the beer(s) when they come out.
