Come try a collaboration beer between the five breweries on the Brew Ridge Trail: South Street, Starr Hill, Blue Mountain, Devils Backbone, and Wild Wolf. In addition, we will have two beers from each brewery on tap. We will have representatives present from each brewery as well as the Brew Ridge Trail, and the World War Commission. “This incredibly special IPA is a collaboration of the breweries on the Brew Ridge Trail. Brewed in honor of those who fought in WWI and WWII, this beer features hops and malts from countries representing our allies in the wars. It is our hope and dream that there are no more wars. So, to that, we toast each and every man and woman who fought for our freedom.”
