Life is too short for bad beer, and this Summer craft brewers are not just making good IPAs, they're making a difference. The national nonprofit Soldiers’ Angels is inviting professional craft breweries of all sizes to brew a custom recipe, "Homefront IPATM" as a fun and unique way to raise funds and honor U.S. service members, veterans, and their families. We talked about it with the initiative's founder and former pro baseball pitcher Chris Ray, and US Air Force veteran and owner of 1700 Brewing, Kevin Mead, and Amy Palmer, President & CEO of Soldiers’ Angels.

Now go ask your local brewer to join the movement and brew Homefront IPA!
