Asheville, North Carolina – Wicked Weed Brewing is excited to launch the “You Deserve An Upgrade” Contest, a summer initiative to celebrate and support community heroes. This contest invites fans to nominate individuals who deserve a significant life upgrade, offering a chance to win a $10,000 prize.
Nominate a Deserving Individual
From now until July 9, nominate someone who has made a positive impact in your community. This could be a local artist needing a studio refresh, a teacher dedicated to their students, a wedding planner creating dream days, or a disaster relief volunteer who could use personal support. Self-nominations are also welcome.
To participate, visit wickedweedbrewing.com/you-deserve-an-upgrade, share the nominee’s story, and explain why they deserve an upgrade. Entrants and nominees must be 21 or older and reside in a market where Wicked Weed products are available.
Inspired by Pernicious IPA
The contest draws inspiration from Wicked Weed’s flagship Pernicious IPA, known for its slogan “Upgrade Your IPA.” As the #1 craft beer sold in the Carolinas and one of the fastest-growing craft beers nationwide (Source: Circana, NC & SC, TUS, L4W), Pernicious embodies quality and excellence, values reflected in this community-focused campaign.
“We’re passionate about quality in our beer and our community,” said Ryan Guthy, co-founder of Wicked Weed Brewing. “This contest is our way of honoring those who make our communities better and giving them the upgrade they deserve.”
