PRE-ORDERS NOW OPEN FOR THE 6TH ANNUAL VETERANS BLEND

By Hailey Nelson

Each year, Yakima Chief Hops (YCH), a global hop supplier for the brewing community, collaborates with military Veteran brewers across the country to select a new hop blend recipe for their annual Veterans Blend. Currently in its 6th year, this hop blend supports and celebrates US military Veterans while collaborating with brewers to create something bigger than beer.

At the 2023 Craft Brewers Conference in Nashville, U.S. Military Veterans, currently working in the brewing industry across the nation, came together to select the 6th Annual Veterans Blend, featuring: Citra® Brand, HBC 638, Talus® Brand, and Sabro® Brand hop varieties! This zesty combo is expected to offer bright citrus, including lime and grapefruit, with subtle herbal notes and pine.

When you purchase this year’s Veterans Blend, CMG donates $3 per pound to Homes For Our Troops (HFOT), a national non-profit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans.

Since 2004, Homes For Our Troops has built over 360 specially adapted homes for Veterans with 70 projects currently underway, enabling them to rebuild their lives. “These homes allow guys and gals to move forward and pursue college degrees, get trade certifications, start, or grow families, pursue careers,” says Bill Ivey, Executive Director of Homes For Our Troops. “A mortgage-free specially adapted home is the supporting effort; it’s the platform for our main effort, helping these Veterans to rebuild their lives”. HFOT is a top-rated charity dedicated to restoring some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country.

Join us in supporting Homes For Our Troops to further their mission of assisting U.S. Veterans in regaining some of their independence, and giving them the ability to rebuild their lives. Veterans Blend is available for a limited time, while supplies last. The deadline to submit your order is August 28. Orders will be shipped in time to brew on Veterans Day!
