Hopewell Junction, NY – April 1, 2026 — Sloop Brewing Co. and the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) have teamed up to release Grow Outdoors, a limited-edition collaboration beer celebrating the outdoors, community, and environmental stewardship.
Timed with AMC’s 150th anniversary and the start of hiking season, Grow Outdoors debuts in April 2026 and will be available across the East Coast. More than just a beer, it supports AMC’s mission to protect natural spaces and make the outdoors accessible for future generations. A portion of proceeds from every sale will directly benefit AMC’s conservation and outdoor connection efforts.
A Refreshing Beer Built for the Trail and Beyond
Grow Outdoors is a 5.3% ABV hazy pale ale designed to be the perfect companion for trail adventures and post-hike hangouts. Crafted with Sloop’s signature juicy, balanced brewing style, it offers bright, approachable flavors with easy drinkability that appeals to both craft beer fans and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
The beer is packaged in 16 oz cans (available in convenient 4-packs) and will also be offered on draft. With an accessible suggested retail price of $11.99 per 4-pack, Grow Outdoors is perfect for spring and summer enjoyment.
Building Community Through Shared Values
“This collaboration is about more than brewing a great beer—it’s about building community around shared values,” said Adam Watson, President of Sloop Brewing Co. “After launching our partnership with AMC last year through co-sponsored events, we’re excited to take the next step with this collaboration beer—creating something that not only tastes great but also supports the places we all love to explore.”
“AMC has spent 150 years connecting people to the outdoors and protecting the landscapes that inspire us,” said Scarlet Batchelor, Chief Growth Officer of the Appalachian Mountain Club. “Grow Outdoors is a fun and meaningful way to celebrate that legacy while inviting new audiences to engage with our mission.”
The launch will be supported by geo-targeted media, retail activations, on-trail events throughout the Northeast, and additional programming across AMC’s footprint from Maine to Virginia. Fans can look forward to outdoor events, volunteer opportunities, and community gatherings that bring the spirit of Grow Outdoors to life.
Availability
Grow Outdoors will be available at select retailers, on draft at key locations, and at Sloop’s taproom in Hopewell Junction, NY.

Niels Bohr (1885–1962) stands as one of the towering figures of 20th-century physics. The Danish scientist developed the Bohr model of the atom, introducing the revolutionary idea that electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels—a breakthrough that helped lay the foundations of quantum mechanics. For this work, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. His institute in Copenhagen became a magnet for the world’s brightest minds, including Werner Heisenberg and many others who shaped modern physics. Bohr’s influence extended far beyond theory; he played a key role in the early development of quantum theory and later contributed to the Manhattan Project while advocating passionately for peaceful uses of atomic energy.
Bohr’s time in the house coincided with turbulent years: the rise of quantum mechanics, World War II (during which he fled Nazi-occupied Denmark), and the postwar atomic age. Through it all, the residence provided stability and a space for reflection. Visitors described lively discussions that blended physics, philosophy, and yes, perhaps the occasional toast with a Carlsberg.
