Maui Brewing leads wildfire relief, underwater aging, and Alaska is huuuge

Maui Brewing is leading efforts for wildfire relief

Earlier this week a fire ripped through the town of Lahaina on Maui.  The losses were devastating, a nearly total loss of the entire city.   Maui Brewing is leading the initiative for relief efforts through direct contributions, sharing resources, and starting the Kokua Project for a collaborative brew inspired by Sierra Nevada's Resilience project.  Follow the links below for more info on ways you can support these efforts. 

• TS Restaurants Legacy of Aloha - which will help the affected employees and their families
• Makai Foundation - which will support rebuilding efforts
• Maui Brewing Fire Fund - which will raise funds to deal with additional needs on the ground. 

And if you’re a brewery and you would like to sign up to participate in the Kokua Project, you can find out more on the Maui Brewing website.

What's the price for a case of beer in your state?

Beer prices across the country vary greatly.  Taxes, shipping, and other silliness can all impact cost.   A survey from Alcohol Delivered shares the average cost of a case of macro brews across the US.

Take a trip to Treehouse for nine holes and a hazy

Breweries are always trying to come up with new ways to attract guests.  For Treehouse brewing, that's opening a location with a 9-hole golf course.  The move isn't unprecedented, Strange Duck Brewing here in Georgia has a (mini) golf course on site as well.  FORRRE!

Ocean aging alcohol never seems to work out

A winery in California recently had the authorities step in and put a stop to their underwater aging efforts.  The FDA said the wine was adulterated and not fit for human consumption.  This reminds us of a story from a few years ago when a brewery tried aging a barrel of their beer on the ocean floor.  The end result?  The barrel of beer was stolen.  Bummer.
