Sonoma Strong Tap Takeover Benefit

On December 21, City Tap House in Fort Point is partnering up with four breweries - two from the East Coast, two from the West Coast - to raise money for victims of the wildfires in Sonoma, CA, with their “Sonoma Strong” tap takeover. In case you missed it, roaring wildfires have been torching through the region, with a total number of 439 homes and counting destroyed by the four main fires; a figure almost certain to increase as assessments continue.

Throughout the night, imbibers-for-the-cause can purchase raffle tickets whose proceeds will be donated directly to relief organizations. Select do-gooders also have the chance to take home a variety of gift baskets donated by the breweries and City Tap.

The bicoastal tap takeover features a dozen craft brews, including:

East Coast
Jack's Abby Craft Lagers - Blood Orange Leisure Time, Smoke & Dagger, Jack's House Lager
Founded in 2011 by three brothers, Jack, Eric, and Sam Hendler, Jack’s Abby has become a mainstay of the craft brewing scene in the Northeast and nationwide. Jack’s Abby brews lagers, and only lagers, to give Americans the opportunity to love a beer that is loved the world over.

Lord Hobo Brewing Co. - Boomsauce, Hobolife
With beer on a pedestal and adventure up our sleeve, Lord Hobo Breaing set out to craft style-defining New England beers that highlight paramount traits of quality ingredients. Their beers are elegant yet raw, free-spirited yet sophisticated. Beer has a unique ability to bring all kinds of people together, from the Lords that only enjoy the finer things in life, to the Hobos that work hard to earn their small pleasures, great beer is an accessible luxury.

West Coast
Firestone Walker Brewing Co. - Stickee Monkey, Velvet Merlin, Pivo Pils
Founded in 1996, Firestone Walker began as a small brewery with roots in California wine country. Now a regional brewery, their singular purpose remains – to craft ever better beer. Passionately in pursuit of the perfect beer...and never satisfied.

Lagunitas Brewing Co. - WTF Wilco Tango Foxtrot, Brown Shugga, Willett Bourbon Stout
The Lagunitas Brewing Co. was not so much an act of ordinary 'foundling' as it was willed into being by the unspoken desire of supportive beer-lovers in Northern California after which they continued to nurture their creation and urged forward to fulfill the unifying needs of that same beer-loving diaspora from coast to coast and beyond.

Although we might not agree on sports or recording artists, East and West Coast always comes together when it matters most. Support Sonoma and devour the details of a great cause at City Tap House this Thursday!
