Dear Saint Arnold's Army:

Single Release Homefront IPA is coming out this Thursday, May 24
 To commemorate Memorial Day, we are releasing a special beer with 100% of the profits going to Operation Homefront, an organization that provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors. Here is the history on this beer:
Last year, Chris Ray, while pitching for the Seattle Mariners, contacted Matt Lincecum who has a microbrewery in Seattle (Fremont Brewing Company) about this project. In addition to pitching, Chris is a homebrewer. He had a recipe and a cause. He approached Matt about the project and together they rolled out Homefront IPA in Seattle and raised $10,000 for Operation Homefront.
This year, Matt contacted us (he's from Houston originally) to see if we would like to join him and a few other breweries he contacted in brewing this beer. He gave us the recipe and we set about brewing it. As we were donating all of our profits on this beer, we also went out to our suppliers and distributors to ask for their help and were met with an overwhelming response.
Being from Texas, we want to raise more than any other brewery for this worthy cause. Our goal: $100,000. With your help, we believe this is possible. Your support will take the form of purchasing and drinking this beer. There is only one batch, so when it's gone, it's gone. (Of course, feel free to enjoy one of our other beers from which we get to keep the profits after that!). This beer was brewed with pale and caramel malts, Chinook and Cascade hops, orange peel and orange zest, and last but not least, 6 maple Louisville sluggers in the bright beer tank.
Homefront IPA will be available in 22 oz bottles only (no draft or 12 oz bottles). It is being released this Thursday, May 24, but some stores won't receive it until Friday and a few won't receive it until next week. When it's gone, it's gone.

We also want to thank all of our suppliers and distributors who have contributed so much to this cause:
