PURE PROJECT BREWING, TOPA TOPA BREWING AND SMOG CITY BREWING COLLABORATE ON BRUT FOR THE PLANET IPA

August 9, 2018 by Dow Scoggins

SAN DIEGO — Pure Project Brewing teamed up with fellow California 1% for the Planet Members, Topa Topa Brewing Co. and Smog City Brewing Co. to brew “Brut for the Planet IPA.”

This Brut IPA is intended to resemble a West Coast IPA melded with the dryness of a Brut Champagne. A clean and crisp IPA, with a nice smooth lingering bitterness. Mellow hoppy aroma up front, with a subtle light body, and a fantastically dry finish.

The beer aims to raise awareness about the need for environmental action, and how breweries that are a part of the 1% for the Planet movement are taking action.

“Beer is an agricultural product and if we do not take care of the land that sustains our agriculture, there will eventually be nothing left to brew with,” said Winslow Sawyer of Pure Project Brewing.

Since the breweries teamed up, fellow California brewery, Alvarado Street Brewing also just announced their 1% For The Planet membership.

“Good beer can reflect the health of our planet,” said Kate Williams, 1% for the Planet’s CEO. “We are thrilled to continue to add to the robust list of breweries around the world that are taking action on the environment.”

1% for the Planet has provided these breweries with a unique opportunity to give back to their local communities as well as help to grow their business.

“All in all our partnership with 1% has been a wonderful addition to our brand here at Topa Topa,” said Jack Dyer of Topa Topa Brewing Co. “The relationships we have established in the community have helped propel our growth as a company.”
