will be a global beer collaboration with individual breweries offering their own take on a single recipe to their local communities.
“Raising awareness about the devastating losses in the hospitality industry is the core vision of this project,” said Other Half Co-founder Matt Monahan. “We want to keep these losses at the forefront of conversations so that anyone who wants to help can learn what is happening and find a way to contribute to the recovery.”
As Other Half explains in its announcement, “#AllTogetherBeer invites any brewer, from any corner of the planet, to participate by providing the tools needed to make the beer at the lowest possible cost, including an open-source recipe, artwork, and name. In exchange, the collective asks that a portion of the proceeds go to supporting hospitality professionals in each brewery’s own community. The rest should be donated to keeping the brewery in business to weather this storm.
The list of breweries launching this effort is practically a who’s who of heralded global craft beer producers.
As for the beer itself, Other Half is known for its elaborate recipes with hand-picked hops and other high-quality ingredients, but in this case, the brewery opted for a base recipe that can be “easily brewed with commonly sourced ingredients” leaving brewers to make All Together either a New England IPA or a West Coast IPA as they see fit. Label artwork and other graphics can also be downloaded for free. Other Half says it hopes the beers will be available as soon as next month, April.
