CURTAINS UP! Today we are tasting Gun Hill Brewing x Rockaway Brewing Colab for the Broadway relief fund. The beer is an Indian Pale Ale, rightfully named Curtains Up. and it is Really good. You really can never go wrong when two breweries join forces for a good cause and create some delicious beer. Thank you because we both really enjoyed this beer. This hoppy yet lite, aromatic, and popping in flavor beer.
From them…
Gun Hill Brewing Co and the Happy Hour Guys, the creators of the Broadway Brews Project, have joined forces once again, this time to help raise money for the Live Performance Industry. We’re honored that they asked us to create the recipe for Curtain Up!
The Curtain Up initiative is an outgrowth of the Broadway Brews Project, started by The Happy Hour Guys to bring Broadway theatre & craft beer together to raise money for great causes. Prior to COVID-19, they had led the creation of 5 beers (including Rise Up Rye) and were readying to complete the Broadway Six Pack.
During the second week of March 2020, live performance was halted nationwide. Tens of thousands of arts professionals found themselves out of work with no knowledge of when they would return; and now, months later, they face loss of income, health insurance, threat of eviction and more. Live performance is an economic engine: In the 2018-19 season, Broadway alone generated $14.7 BILLION for the New York City economy and supported 96,900 jobs; from stage hands and ushers, to talent agents, actors, managers, and so many more.
Broadway is still shut down, as is nearly all of professional live performance nationwide. And the industry may not be back to full employment until a year after a vaccine is introduced.
The primary mission of Curtain Up is to create a source of relief funding for The Actors Fund, which provides a safety net for entertainment professionals throughout their lifespan. Just since March, they have distributed over $16 million in direct assistance.
This Initiative is about fostering understanding of the need for the arts in EVERY community and supporting people who choose to make live performance their profession, regardless of their color, gender, sexual persuasion, or creed. We are asking brewers who join us to consider doing the following:
Keep what you need, and donate as much of this beer's proceeds as possible to The Actors Fund, or
Keep what you need, donate a generous portion of this beer’s proceeds to The Actors Fund, and an amount to a local arts organization in need
