Great Beer. Great Cause.

Hops for Housing is an annual fund and awareness-raising event to benefit Willis Dady Homeless Services, which provides shelter and prevention services to homeless and near-homeless households in and surrounding Linn County.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Hops for Housing 2021 is 5 months of on-your-own brewery tasting throughout Eastern Iowa. We have 12 partner locations that are offering YOU A FREE PINT when you bring your Hops for Housing 2021 ticket to their establishment. We’re so grateful to be partnering with local businesses that support their community while they are also recovering from the impact that 2020 had on their businesses. Make sure to grab a bite to eat or bring a six-pack home to support these great establishments!

Pick up your tickets at Iowa Brewery Running Series's Fun Run at Iowa Brewing Company on Sunday, May 23rd, 2021, or ANY of our Brewery Nights! (See more information about that below!)

Once you have your ticket you can visit any of our partner locations to redeem your free pint. As you are ordering, tell your bartender or server that you’d like to redeem your Hops for Housing 2021 pint, and they will let you know what is available. They will also mark off your ticket with a sharpie or pen to show that you have redeemed your free pint.

Clock House Brewing in Cedar Rapids, IA
Millstream Brewing Co. in Amana, IA
