Deschutes launches Forged Together Oregon Mixed 15-Pack for Wildfire Relief
Deschutes Brewery’s open call to fellow Oregon brewers for their Forged Together Oregon, variety pack was answered by 14 fellow craft breweries. To assist in Wildfire Relief in Oregon, Deschutes is launching 1 5-pack with 14 beers and 1 cider all from different independent Oregon craft beverage producers. 100% of the proceeds will go to benefits directed towards those impacted by the wildfires.
“Monetary donations are a priority for people who have experienced loss from the fires,” said Michael LaLonde, CEO of Deschutes. “Oregon is strong and resilient, and we are forging together as an industry for our community in this collaboration for our beautiful state.”
The overwhelming response from brewers turned the original plan for a 12 pack into a 15 pack featuring select bottles and cans from contributing breweries. Deschutes has tremendous gratitude for the fellow craft breweries who have joined in this collaboration. Each brewery carefully selected their contribution that has been hand packed at Deschutes into the Forged Together pack that will join Deschutes’ Royal Fresh IIPA,
