We're thrilled to share that our second annual batch of beer-for-a-cause is ready for release and distribution, and release events are lined up for the months of August and September 2019.
This year's beer, the Graduate Golden Ale, is, a light, refreshing, crisp and slightly fruity golden ale brewed by award-winning local brewery, Ten Pin Brewing.
This ale is a collaboration between Ten Pin, Washington State-based hops growers Yakima Chief Hops and College Hill. Proceeds from all keg purchases by breweries, tap houses, pubs, bars and distributors will go to a scholarship fund to benefit the Wine and Beer Business Management program in the Carson College of Business at Washington State University.
Additionally, at each release party for the Graduate Golden Ale, our generous bars / brew spaces will be donating $1 from every pint purchase back to the scholarship fund.
The scholarship directly supports students pursuing educations in the burgeoning brewing industry, with hopes that they'll continue their education and careers in an effort to help grow the innovative craft beer scene here in the great Pacific Northwest.
So, what does it taste like?
This beer is delicious - we may be biased, but we think you'll agree. With release parties running from August 22 - September 8, this beer is the perfect transitionary beverage to get us from summer to fall. Its tropical fruit notes and light, bright taste are reminiscent of a warm summer day, but its malty backbone and touch of vanilla remind us of a crisp autumn day sipping a light, honey-ish Oktoberfest style beer. Ten Pin consistently churns out original and tasty beers, but we think this is their best one yet.
The catch? It's limited edition, so you can only get this for a short time only!
Be among the first to try it in Washington at one of our upcoming release events:
Just swing by the release events anytime and order a pint of the Graduate Golden Ale - and invite your friends! No RSVP necessary - super casual! Just come and have a drink with us! Hope to see you there.
Prost!
