Highlights from the 2022 Great American Beer Festival Featuring Hops for Heroes

🍺Last weekend, Soldiers’ Angels was invited to participate in the Great American Beer Festival (GABF), hosted annually by the Brewers Association.

The Oct. 6-8 event at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver drew 500 breweries and 40,000 attendees from all over the world to sample some of the best offerings from America’s independent craft brewers.

During three-day festival, Soldiers’ Angels CEO Amy Palmer, Development Manager Leah Spate, Denver Area Manager Chris Clark, and Mark Szymanski, CEO at Evocati, spoke to hundreds of brewers and attendees about the organization’s mission and how it is supported by the annual Hops for Heroes program. With 16 breweries participating in 2022, we spread the word about Hops for Heroes, which partners with craft breweries of all sizes to brew a custom recipe, Homefront IPA™, and donate the proceeds to Soldiers’ Angels to support U.S. service members, veterans, and their families. With registration already open for 2023, we’re looking forward to even more partner breweries next year!

Thanks again to the Brewers Association for the generous invitation to attend GABF, and shout out to 2022 Hops for Heroes partner Left Hand Brewing Co. out of Longmont, Colorado, for being named Brewery and Brewer of the Year in the 15,001–100,000 barrel category!!!
