American Hop Supplier Honors Veterans with Annual Hop Blend

YAKIMA, Wash., June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yakima Chief Hops (YCH), a 100% grower-owned global hop supplier, opens the 7th Annual Veterans Blend pre-sale! Veterans Blend is a collaborative hop product supporting former U.S. military service members. YCH will donate $3 from every pound sold to Stop Soldier Suicide, a nonprofit organization that works to reduce the number of suicide deaths among Veterans. Brewers are encouraged to place their orders between June 24th and August 26th.

The blend is curated and selected by military Veterans working in the beer industry. This year's blend will be comprised of Ekuanot®, Citra®, El Dorado®, Simcoe®, and Crystal, and is expected to offer big berry notes, complimented by tropical citrus, and an underlying herbal character. This compelling combination of hops promises to be an excellent addition to any style of beer.

Along with choosing the hops they want to feature in this impact-driven blend, they also nominate and vote for the nonprofit organization the blend will be raising funds for. This year, YCH is proud to announce its partnership with Stop Soldier Suicide. By focusing on care and research that is specific to suicide reduction, Stop Soldier Suicide's mission is to create a future where Veterans are at no greater risk for suicide than any other American. YCH Regional Sales Manager Southeast, and Marine Veteran, Jonathan Sikes adds, "They are helping in an area that is often overlooked or unseen until it's too late. We are honored to help them in their cause providing invaluable support to Veterans who are often hesitant or averse to opening up or seeking help."

Veterans are at 72% higher risk of suicide than those who haven't served. Each year, over 6,000 United States military Veterans die by suicide. Stop Soldier Suicide is aggressively working to reduce the military suicide rate by 40% no later than 2030.

Brewers traditionally use this blend to create something unique for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, or other occasions to honor those who have served. Those who use this hop blend are encouraged to help maximize the impact by donating to an organization that supports Veterans or involve the Veterans in their community with their brew. Purchase this year's Veteran's Blend here before August 26th, learn more about Stop Soldier Suicide, and raise a pint for our dedicated service members.

Voodoo Ranger Helps Beer Drinkers Find the Can of Their Dreams

America's Top Selling IPA Brand Launches Tall Boys Only Campaign to Match You with Something Tall, Cold and Single

FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Let's face it, the dating scene can feel bleak. For people tired of mixed signals, ghosting, and bread crumbing, Voodoo Ranger has launched TallBoysOnly.com, the #1 dating site for finding the 19.2oz can of your dreams, also known as a Tall Boy.

Highlighting the brand's variety of 19.2oz IPA Tall Boy cans, Voodoo Ranger's new singles-seeking-singles destination includes everything you need to know about your favorite beers with profiles worth swiping right on. Whether you're into sweet Juice Force, irresistible Imperial or have your eye on smooth Tropic Force, finding a Tall Boy to crush is now easier than ever. 

 Voodoo Ranger is stepping in to make sure no matter how your date goes, you have a good night with the Voodoo Ranger Bad Date Hotline.  Just before heading out the door, consumers can text 'BAD DATE' to 1-231-2-RANGER, and Voodoo Ranger will call you with an "emergency" phone call, and a wild excuse to ditch your date if it's going south quickly. Once the escape has been made Voodoo Ranger, in partnership with Cash App, will randomly select bad date runaways to gift $5 to treat themselves to a Voodoo Ranger Tall Boy in place of that dud of a date.

"Whether it's dates gone wrong or endless swiping on apps, finding your match can be rough," said Voodoo Ranger Sr. Brand Manager Michelle Robertson. "Voodoo Ranger is bringing fun back to the dating scene, replacing bad dates with the can of your dreams."

Consumers can also attract their IPA BAE with Voodoo Ranger's limited-edition Eau De Hops. Inspired by the flavor notes of Voodoo Ranger, this exclusive IPA-scented cologne is specially formulated to attract beer lovers. The Eau De Hops will be available for purchase ($50) while supplies last at the Voodoo Ranger Vootique.
