A very meaningful annual tradition returns this week with the release of Lou (2023), our Ales for ALS double IPA made with a special blend of hops provided by YCH.
This year marks BG’s 9th (!!!) year participating in the Ales for ALS program, in which selected breweries are given a proprietary (and annual changing) blend of existing and experimental hops with which to make a special beer.
Proceeds from each beer sold is donated to the ALS Therapy Development Institute to help fund ALS research and treatment.
This year’s blend of hops features a variety of experimental hops alongside Loral, Simcoe (our favorite), Ekunot, and Talus. It’s always exciting to see (and smell and taste) what each year’s blend brings. We get bright citrus, yuzu, and lychee balanced with pine and dry flowers.
BG’s Ales for ALS beer is named Lou, after baseball legend and ALS victim Lou Gehrig, and is made in honor of our longtime advisor and mentor, Bob Dax, who lost his battle with ALS in 2017.
