Breweries from around the world are invited to join Ales for ALS^™. Once accepted, participating Ales for ALS^™ brewers receive their requested amount of the unique hop blend, created and donated annually by Loftus Ranches and YCH Hops exclusively for brewers participating in this fundraising program. There is no charge to brewers for this amazing hop blend. Ales for ALS^™ brewers donate $1 to the ALS Therapy Development Institute for each pint of the resulting Ales for ALS^™ brew sold. The funds raised are spent immediately on their mission to discover and develop effective treatments for ALS.

Initial invitations have already been sent out for the 2018 Ales for ALS^™ season. Participation is limited by the hop supply. If you would like to inquire about receiving an invitation, click here.

ABOUT ALS

Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or Motor Neuron Disease (MND). It is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle weakness, difficulty breathing and swallowing, and paralysis while leaving the senses intact. ALS attacks certain cells in the brain and spinal cord needed to keep muscles moving. Most people survive two to five years after their diagnosis, with an estimated 30,000 people in the US and 450,000 worldwide living with the disease. Currently, there is no effective treatment or cure.
