Center of the Universe Brewing Declares May 24th Homefront IPA Day

Ashland, Virginia, May 15th: COTU has declared May 24th "Homefront IPA Day" throughout the greater Richmond area.  Instead of concentrating on a brewery location only debut, COTU felt that in order to spread the most awareness about the effort and the importance of Memorial Day, Homefront IPA should debut at all participating restaurants the same day as the brewery.  20 local watering holes will tap the brew which include: Brew, Brickhouse Run, Bucket Trade, Capital Ale House (all Richmond locations), Flyin’ Pig, Game on Sports, Glory Days (both locations), Halligan Bar and Grill (Short Pump), Hurley’s Tavern, Mekong, Northside Grill, Social 52, Station 2, Tazza Kitchen, Tobacco Co., Weezies, and Whole Foods Market (Short Pump).

“Homefront IPA was our first experience working in the craft brewing industry, and the effort is what brought us to love the cooperative and charitable backbones of this great industry.  Homefront IPA is our way of saying "thank you" to all of the men and women who dedicate themselves to protecting our safety and our way of life.  By releasing this beer so close to Memorial Day, we hope to give a reminder to everyone of how important the past, present, and future members of our armed forces are and to remember the ultimate sacrifices so many have made in their pursuit of our freedom.  We want them all to know that the greater Richmond area cares and supports their never ending work.” – Chris Ray, Co-founder of Center of the Universe Brewing Company and Hops for Heroes
