FIRST SIP BREW BOX
FACILITATES HEARTH
25TH ANNIVERSARY
BEER COLLABORATION
WITH LINCOLN AVENUE
BREWERY
First Sip Brew Box has announced a special
collaboration with nonprofit organization
HEARTH, located in the North Hills, and
Lincoln Avenue Brewery, located in Bellevue.
They are facilitating a new beer in celebration
of HEARTH’s 25 years of serving the
community. It will be in conjunction with the
Hops for HEARTH beer tasting event, which
is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The goal of the beer collaboration is to
continue to build awareness of the mission
and services
provided by
HEARTH.
Through
its unique
approach of
providing facility-based transitional housing
to homeless women with children who are
survivors of domestic violence or trauma, the
organization is able to work one-on-one with
each individual family to provide support as
they achieve economic self-sufficiency.
First Sip was excited to put this
collaboration together with HEARTH and
Lincoln Avenue Brewery and use Pittsburgh’s
craft beer industry as a catalyst for helping the
community.
The collaboration beer will be presented
exclusively at the 10th annual Hops for
HEARTH Beerfest on Friday, March 20,
at Nova Place on the North Side. A select
few of Pittsburgh’s libation spots will also
have this brew on draft. First Sip Brew Box’s
vision is also to connect with local artists to
create visual works to showcase the internal
struggle we all have in communicating
with each other about topics like domestic
violence. The works of art will be auctioned
off at the event to help raise funds for
HEARTH.
Tickets for Hops for HEARTH are on sale
at bidpal.net/hopsforhearth2020. This year’s
event is celebrating 10 years of bringing craft
beer to the people in addition to HEARTH’s
25th anniversary. This year there is a special
honorary committee comprised of former
Hops for HEARTH chairpersons, Chris
Borsoni, Tiffany Martin, and Lisa Fox.
