Sierra Nevada's Resilience Butte County Proud IPA, brewed to help raise money the Camp Fire Relief Fund, is a great beer story. If you don't know about it you can read this or this from Sierra Nevada, or this from USA Today. Almost 1,500 breweries have signed up to brew their version of the Resilience IPA based on Sierra Nevada's recipe and contribute 100% of sales proceeds to the Camp Fire Relief Fund. The campaign is on track to raise $15 million. If you figure a $6 pint, that is 2,500,000 pints of Resilience IPA that are going to get sold.
You can find Resilience IPA all over the country using this map. It looks like there are dozens of participating breweries in San Diego County alone. This is a heck of a commitment from all the craft breweries involved, which are donating time, materials, and resources, and then giving all proceeds to the the Camp Fire Relief Fund. Each Resilience IPA is slightly different depending on available ingredients and brewing techniques. Resilience IPA, no matter who brews it, is maltier than a typical IPA, and most should still be available. I have tried ones from Pizza Port, Culture, and Mike Hess, all are good, and all slightly different, I want to try more before the kegs are emptied.
