Starr Hill Brewery Announces Partnership with the Chris Long Foundation to Promote Clean Water Access and Educational Equity.
Charlottesville, VA - Starr Hill Brewery is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Chris Long Foundation, dedicated to mobilizing ambassadors, service providers, and experts to support communities in accessing clean water and addressing basic needs for youth and families, both locally and globally. The collaboration aims to raise awareness about clean water access and educational equity within the Charlottesville community. This partnership embodies the organizations’ shared commitment to making a positive impact in the Charlottesville community and beyond.
To mark the launch of this partnership, Starr Hill will introduce "Draft Pic Pale Ale," a light and hoppy session pale ale with an ABV of 4.7%. This new recipe was crafted with this partnership in mind and is the ideal companion for enjoying gridiron action on a crisp autumn afternoon. Starting November 1st, "Draft Pic Pale Ale" will be available on draft at Starr Hill's Charlottesville and Crozet tap rooms.
In celebration of this exciting partnership, Chris Long will join the Starr Hill Downtown team at its Charlottesville location at the Dairy Market on November 1st to guest host Trivia Night. The event will feature quiz questions based on his sports achievements and philanthropic endeavors. Follow @starrhillbrewery and @starrhillcville on Instagram for more information on the event.
Join us in a toast towards supporting a great cause as we kick off this collaboration between Starr Hill Brewery and the Chris Long Foundation. More exciting partnership details will follow in the months to come, providing fans with more opportunities to support the excellent mission of the Chris Long Foundation.
