Calling all craft breweries and homebrewers! Here’s your chance to combine your passion for beermaking with a powerful mission to support Service Members, Veterans, and their families. Soldiers’ Angels Hops for Heroes is back for 2025, and we’re inviting you to be part of this meaningful initiative. With only 50 spots available for breweries, now is the time to secure your place as one of the country’s most patriotic breweries in this exclusive campaign.

How Hops for Heroes Works

Participating is simple, impactful, and fun. Here’s how breweries can join:

1. Register as a Hops for Heroes participating brewery.
2. Brew Homefront IPA or another Homefront beer specially crafted for this initiative.
3. Host a release party between Memorial Day and Veterans Day to celebrate your brew and the cause.
4. Donate net proceeds from your Homefront beer sales to Soldiers’ Angels, which directly support our programs for the Military community.

Homebrewers can also get involved by making a donation and, optionally, creating a fundraising page. They can brew Homefront IPA or another Homefront beer and even host their own release party to spread the word and raise funds.

We’re also encouraging breweries and homebrewers to create a fundraising page that goes along with your campaign on our easy to use platform. This helps amplify our efforts and enables anyone in the community to go beyond the purchase of your beer to support a cause they feel passionate about.

Why Participate?

Philanthropic efforts are a win-win for your business and your community. Customers increasingly value companies that give back, and aligning your brewery with a meaningful cause like Hops for Heroes fosters loyalty and goodwill. It also creates a unique opportunity for engagement—both internally with your team and externally with your customers—while spotlighting your business as a force for positive change.

The Hops for Heroes program is about more than just raising funds; it’s about building community. Hosting a release party brings together beer enthusiasts, the Military connected community, and local supporters in a shared mission to honor and help those who have served.

In addition to giving back, we offer perks for breweries at different fundraising levels. Breweries that register in the beginning of the year will get our 2025 taphandle! Other perks include:
