Bale Breaker Brewing Supports Ales for ALS In 2018

Breweries from across American will step up to raise money for Ales for ALS, a national fundraising and awareness campaign that were initiated in Yakima, Washington. Over the course of the past five years the organization has raised $1.65 million to help find a cure of ALS.

Back in 2012, Loftus Ranches and YCH Hops created Ales for ALS to support a very worthy cause for ALS research. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to paralysis, due to the death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain.

Yakima based Bale Breaker Brewing will be one of eight participating Washington breweries this year and has two events lined up during the month of July 2018. In total there will be 171 participating breweries from across American and one each in Germany and Japan brewing a beer to support ALS.

Each of these breweries will have access to a unique proprietary Ales for ALS hop blend. This year’s blend is composed of 40% Ekuanot®, 15% HBC 438, 15% HBC 344, 10% Simcoe®, 10% Loral®, 5% HBC 630, and 5% HBC 520. There is no charge to brewers for this amazing hop blend. Ales for ALS brewers agree to donate $1.00 to the ALS Therapy Development Institute for each pint of the resulting Ales for ALS™ brew sold. The funds raised are spent immediately on its mission to discover and develop effective treatments for ALS.

Bale Breaker Brewing is releasing two Ales for ALS beers for 2018 with its new Bubba’s Brew Hazy IPA and Double Bubba Imperial IPA. Both beers will debut at the brewery’s Ales for ALS Fundraising Event on Saturday, July 14, 2018. In addition to this fundraising event Bale Breaker will also host the 3rd Annual Birdies for Bubba Golf Tournament on Friday July 27.

Here are additional details on each of the two Ales of ALS events coming up this month.
