YOU OUGHTA KNOW!

FROM RED, WHITE & BOOM! TO LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL!

After much reflection and discussion, we have decided that our annually released Red, White & BOOM! IPA needed an update to better reflect the times we are in. When we first decided to brew the beer again, it was back in April, in the midst of pandemic uncertainty. At the time, it felt like a good plan to bring back this celebratory and slightly tongue-in-cheek “Independent Patriotic Ale,” as we looked forward to summer celebration bringing needed cheer to the heaviness of life lived in a pandemic.

Since then, things have dramatically changed in our nation. Though racial injustice has plagued America from its inception, many Americans are being re-awakened to the fact that oppression remains a daily experience for tens of millions of our brothers and sisters of color. At Block 15, we’ve also realized that a beer so enthusiastically celebrating our independence ignores the fact that freedom and justice has yet to be realized by so many people in our nation. Those of us privileged to be able to celebrate our own freedoms this July must do so while actively standing with those who are still fighting for a chance to live their own American Dream.

Each year we will use this new program to both discuss and practically contribute to efforts to bring Liberty and Justice for All—especially to those marginalized by the color of their skin. This year we will be donating a portion of the proceeds from this beer to ColorOfChange.org as they work to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back while promoting solutions that move us all forward.

Peace, Love, and #JusticeForAll!
