Group of Pa. breweries operated by veterans plan Memorial Day collaborative release

Patriot-News - 5/19/2022

For a third year, craft breweries from across Pennsylvania have joined together to make a beer collaboration, one brewed by Pennsylvania veterans in support of the state’s veterans.

“Adapt And Overcome: Danger Zone Pale Ale” will be released throughout the state on Memorial Day weekend with the proceeds going to the Keystone Military Families organization, a press release said.

Founded in 2002, Keystone Military Families was established with the goal of providing support for our deployed troops and their families. In 2010, they realized there was also a need for veteran support so they reorganized and expanded services.

Located out of Shoemakersville, Berks County, their mission is to support Pennsylvania military families every week with groceries, clothing, household items, furniture, and more while still shipping up to 100 care packages monthly and 10,000 Christmas stockings annually. If you would like to support the work they continue to do, you can do so here.

In addition to the fact that the beer is being produced by Pennsylvania veterans, it will also include ingredients from Pennsylvania veteran-owned and operated businesses as well. Grain and malt for this beer will come from Deer Creek Malthouse in Glen Mills, Delaware County, while some of the hops being used for the beer have been produced by GEMS Farms Hops in Carlisle, Cumberland County. Both are veteran-owned businesses, according to a press release.

To support the large volume of beer needed for this project the beer was brewed at Chatty Monks Brewing in Reading and Stone Bridge Brewing in Johnstown.

“Adapt And Overcome: Danger Zone” is a 6.3% Hazy Pale Ale brewed with Keystone Pale and Vienna malt. Strata and Triple Pearl hops were added at various points in the brew to offer consumers flavors and aroma of pineapple, papaya, melon, and berry with a dank and grassy finish. Malt character is supportive and crackery and balances out the subtle bitterness of this fluffy collaborative endeavor, the release said.

Here is the full list of participating businesses for this project:
