What Makes Hops for Heroes Special

By brewing Homefront™ beer, you’re not only using your craft to create something flavorful but also giving back. This isn’t just another brew—it’s your brewery’s opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

  • Creative Freedom: You can follow the original Homefront™ IPA recipe or bring your personal twist to craft your own unique Homefront™ brew.
  • Community Support: Net proceeds from Homefront™ beer sales directly benefit Soldiers’ Angels programs, which supported over 1.7 million Service Members, Veterans, and families in 2024 alone.
  • Promotional Materials: Participating breweries will receive custom campaign items, including an exclusive tap handle to spotlight your contribution.

“Every year, Hops for Heroes brings breweries together to support Service Members and Veterans in a meaningful way,” said Soldiers’ Angels President and CEO Amy Palmer. “Our 2025 campaign is already generating excitement among breweries nationwide, and we’re eager to see what this year’s participants will create.

Soldiers’ Angels, the largest volunteer-driven nonprofit of its kind in the United States, has made a nationwide impact through its extensive network of services. The organization supported over 1.7 million Veterans, Service Members, and families in 2024, providing food assistance, hygiene kits, and care packages, among other vital resources. In 2024 alone, more than 49,000 Military-connected families received food assistance, solidifying Soldiers’ Angels as the largest food provider exclusively to Veterans in the country.

Why Your Brewery Should Join

Participation is as easy as 1-2-3:

  1. Register your brewery for Hops for Heroes.
  2. Brew and release your Homefront™ beer between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
  3. Donate net proceeds of your sales to Soldiers’ Angels to directly fund critical support programs.

By joining, you’ll not only align your brewery with a noble cause but also engage your community in a way that truly matters. Every sip of Homefront™ beer helps honor and assist those who’ve served our country.
