Now in its fifth year, Ales for
ALS™ is a national fundraising and awareness campaign that was developed
in Yakima and has raised $1,250,000 to date for ALS research. A Yakima Valley kickoff event and a preceding
golf tournament are hosted by Bale Breaker Brewing Company, one of seven
participating Washington breweries.
Loftus Ranches and YCH Hops created Ales for
ALS™ in 2012 to support a very worthy cause - ALS research. Amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative
disease that leads to paralysis, due to the death of motor neurons in the
spinal cord and brain.
Bale Breaker and the other 134 participating
breweries across the country have access to a unique proprietary Ales for ALS™
hop blend. This year’s blend is composed of 25% Citra®, 25%
Loral™ and 50% experimental varietals. Bale
Breaker used this blend to create Bubba’s Brew IPA (6.7% ABV), which will be
released this weekend at the 2nd Annual Birdies for Bubba Golf
Tournament on July 14, and the 4th Annual Ales for
ALS™ Event on July 15. Bale Breaker will be donating $1 per pint of
Bubba’s Brew to ALS TDI, the world's leader in ALS research.

ABOUT
BALE BREAKER BREWING CO.
Bale
Breaker Brewing Company makes handcrafted ales that showcase the world-class
hops grown in the heart the Yakima Valley. Hops are in the family's
DNA: the great-grandparents of sibling-owners Meghann Quinn, Kevin Smith, and
Patrick Smith first planted hops in the Yakima Valley in 1932, the year before
Prohibition ended. Over four generations, their love of hops has
evolved into a passion for craft beer. Today, Meghann, Kevin and Patrick are
in the midst of running an independent production brewery surrounded by
their family’s hop fields, just down the road from
where they were born and raised.
The ALS Therapy Development Institute and its scientists actively discover and develop treatments for ALS. It is the world's first and largest nonprofit biotech focused 100 percent on ALS research. Led by people with ALS and drug development experts, it understands the urgent need to slow and stop this disease. As the world's foremost drug discovery center focused solely on ALS, ALS TDI spends 87% of every dollar raised on research to find effective treatments and cures. Its innovative science and cutting edge approach have resulted in the identification of AT-1501, a promising treatment for ALS. It also pioneered the ALS Precision Medicine Program, the world's premier program and partnership with ALS patients to discover additional potential treatments.
