In August, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company unveiled its new program centered around the release of Dankful IPA, a generously hoppy beer launched to help the brewery raise awareness for a variety of nonprofits working to support local communities. Robin Gregory and the team at Sierra Nevada have already donated $1 million during the pandemic and are focusing heavily on overcoming the challenge of food insecurity. With philanthropy playing a large role since its beginning, the company has also contributed to help ramp up testing and to provide necessary tools to medical centers for COVID-19. Gregory was previously the San Francisco Editor at HuffPost.
