We’ve brewed a new taproom one-off, the Ales for ALS IPA, which is now on tap. Founders is one of nearly seventy participating breweries, who are all brewing their own unique beer for this campaign. A proprietary hop blend (featuring Citra, Mosaic & some experimental hops) was provided to each participating brewery to use in their creation. Proceeds from sales of these beer go to benefit ALS Research. You’ll find it to be a smooth, golden, easy-drinking IPA. Stop in and try it soon because we didn’t brew all that much and it will only last for a limited time.

Ales for ALS is a national campaign to raise funds and awareness for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, a fatal neurodegenerative disorder. Participating brewers brew special beers with a proprietary hop blend, and donate a portion of the sales to the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world’s leader in ALS research. Built by and for patients living with the disease today, the Cambridge, MA-based drug discovery biotech has one mission: to end ALS.

Tap at Founders. Clear darker golden with small off white head. Mango, sweet peach, quite some caramel and sweet malts, quite herbal in the finish, a touch of very sweet orange. Medium sweet and under medium bitter. Medium bodied.
