Counterweight HO HO HOpe
Cheshire, CT / 6.4% ABV
The resinous quality and piney flavor immediately send you into the holiday spirit with characters not far off from a fresh cut Christmas tree. There are nice hoppy notes reminiscent of grapefruit and stone fuits with a very slightly malty finish, while orange pith echos down the chimney of the pallet. It’s light and airy, much like powdered snow melting in your mouth. This is an ideal beer to enjoy with a warm, home-cooked meal and family or friends.
Each year, profits from this beer contribute directly to different youth communities. This year 100% of the profits go toward the Tommy Fund, which since 1953 has been helping support the families whose children are being treated for Cancer by paying rent, mortgages, or allowing a family the financial freedom to take off from work to care for their children. The clinic is one of the leading pediatric cancer centers in CT. So in essence, for drinking this beer, you’re doing a good deed!
