Lost Cabin Beer Co., along with over one hundred breweries from thirty states across the United States are participating in Ales for ALSTM this summer, a charitable program that raises money for the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) in Cambridge, MA. Ales for ALS breweries raise money through sales of their unique, limited-edition Ales for ALS beers made from a blend of experimental hops donated by B.T. Loftus Ranches and YCH Hops and through proceeds generated from events and festivals. Since 2013, Ales for ALS breweries have raised over $1,250,000 for ALS research taking place at ALS TDI.
“The breweries participating in Ales for ALS and the people who come to sample the beers are funding the necessary scientific efforts and providing real impact on the research here at the ALS Therapy Development Institute,” says Steve Perrin, Ph.D., CEO and CSO of ALS TDI.
The Lost Cabin Beer Co. Ales for ALS beer will be “Ultimate Warrior” New England Style IPA (low bitterness, hazy, full of fresh hop flavor and aroma) and will be released both at the brewery (1401 W. Omaha St.) and at participating bars on Thursday, August 10th. Local craft beer retailers Independent Ale House, Paddy O’Neills, Thirsty’s, 445, Minerva’s and Murphy’s will also be tapping the beer and everyone involved will donate $1 per pint sold to ALS TDI.
