Iron Hill Brewery, Make-A-Wish to Launch New Beer Collaboration on World Wish Day

EXTON, Penn.-- Prepare to experience the enchantment of Hops & Wishes, a brand-new hazy IPA brewed by Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant (Iron Hill) in partnership with Make-A-Wish. The renowned East Coast brewery joins hands with the Philadelphia, Delaware, and Susquehanna Valley chapter of the National Make-A-Wish Foundation (Make-A-Wish) to introduce a heartwarming collaboration set to launch on April 29 in honor of World Wish Day.

Crafted with care and compassion, Hops & Wishes embodies the spirit of giving back. With every sip, craft beer fans will taste the magic of experimental hops, boasting aromatic notes of citrus, pineapple, mango, and cherry while also supporting a worthy cause. A portion of the proceeds from each pour will directly benefit the local chapter of Make-A-Wish, as part of their global celebration on World Wish Day. With a 6.7% ABV, this special beer will be available exclusively on draft at all 3 Delaware Iron Hill locations (Newark, Wilmington, and Rehoboth) for $11 per pint.

 

In addition to the Hops & Wishes release, all 19 Iron Hill locations across PA, NJ, DE, and SC will partake in a “Give 20” promotion on World Wish Day. For guests who present the flyer, available on both Iron Hill and Make-A-Wish websites, Iron Hill will donate 20% of their food sales to support local Make-A-Wish chapters. World Wish Day holds significant importance, marking the founding day of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 1980. For 44 years, Make-A-Wish has been dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of children with critical illnesses, spreading joy and hope in their lives. With more than 550,000 wishes granted worldwide, Make-A-Wish continues to make a profound impact, one wish at a time.

 

“We’re thrilled to partner with such an incredible organization like Make-A-Wish,” says Iron Hill CEO, Chris Westcott. “Their impact is immeasurable, and we are honored to contribute to their mission. Crafting Hops & Wishes alongside Make-A-Wish has been a truly uplifting experience for us all, and we can't wait to share it with our customers. It's inspiring to combine our passion for brewing with a meaningful cause.”
