Proceeds go to ALES for ALS; what is that?
Hilton Head Island Rhythm & Brews is a proud participant in Ales for ALS™, a program that raises money for vital ALS research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI). Each year, Ales for ALS™ breweries receive a free blend of experimental hops, which are donated by B.T. Loftus Ranches and YCH Hops. Breweries then raise money for ALS TDI through sales of their unique, limited-edition Ales for ALS™ beers, which are made from the donated hops, and through proceeds generated from their events and festivals. Since 2013, breweries participating in Ales for ALS™ have raised over $5,000,000 for ALS research at ALS TDI.
