A new blend of hops for the Veterans Blend is selected each year by military Veteran brewers across the nation. This year, it includes experimental hop variety HBC 586, Triumph, Chinook, Ekuanot®, and Idaho 7® brand hops. Along with a new blend profile, they also select a different nonprofit organization to support, addressing the various needs of the Veteran community.
This year, YCH is proud to partner with HunterSeven Foundation, a veteran-founded, nonprofit organization that specializes in medical research and education specifically on the post-9/11 veteran cohort. The HunterSeven Foundation has quickly become the leaders in identifying potential toxic exposures and subsequent illnesses in military veterans and in turn is able to educate both the veteran population and the healthcare providers who care for them on critical health information relating to their exposures utilizing evidence-based practice.
