ROCK ON, THE FIRST-EVER BEER COLLABORATION BENEFITING SWEET RELIEF MUSICIANS FUND

5/17/2021

WOODBURN, Ore. -- Crosby Hops, an integrated hop merchant and processor in the Pacific Northwest, today announces the first annual Rock On beer collaboration benefiting Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial assistance to musicians and music industry workers. Crosby Hops will contribute 100% of the profit from select Rock On hops purchased through July 1, 2021 to Sweet Relief.

The collaborative project is headlined by Silver City Brewery, which is laying down the backbeat with an open-source recipe for a light, crisp, and crushable lager. Crosby Hops is providing the chords with a chorus of hops: Amarillo®, Centennial, Chinook, Idaho 7®, and Sterling. MxPx, the renowned pop-punk rockers from Bremerton, Washington, are turning up the dial to get the word out, see below!

“The good folks at Crosby truly care about the music community and we couldn’t be more grateful to be the beneficiaries of this amazing campaign,” said Aric Steinberg, EVP-Development/Artist Relations, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. “All of the proceeds will help us provide emergency assistance to music industry professionals in desperate need. Thank you to Crosby, Silver City, and to all of the participating brewers for their incredible support!”

“As a hop grower and drummer, it means so much to bring beer and music together in this way,” said Blake Crosby, CEO of Crosby Hops. “We’re inviting every brewery, regardless of size, to take the stage with their rendition of Rock On Crafted Lager and support the music they love.”

Silver City Brewery developed the Rock On Crafted Lager™ recipe, which is open to interpretation. Breweries are encouraged to fine-tune it and create their ideal, concert-worthy lager, then celebrate its launch by hosting a day of music and donate the proceeds to Sweet Relief.
