A Creative Beer Collaboration to Help Musicians and Crews Put Out of Work by COVID-19

In tough times, we often turn to music. It’s time to return the favor.

COVID-19 has crippled the music industry, devastating music professionals who rely on live audiences to make a living. For every brewery that turns on the tunes when they turn on the lights, Rock On is a call to come together and help struggling musicians keep rolling until the crowds can return.

Craft a Rockin’ Lager and Give Some Sweet Relief to Musicians

Walk into any brewery and you’ll hear music, serving as a soundtrack to brew days and taproom revelry. And for its part, beer has influenced the creation and enjoyment of music, elevating the experience for artists and audiences. Rock On honors that connection with a brewing project to benefit Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial assistance to musicians and music industry workers struggling to make ends meet.

Crosby Hops, MxPx, and Silver City Brewery teamed up to create Rock On Crafted Lager to support Sweet Relief. We invite you to join in and create your own rendition. MxPx is providing the inspiration; Silver City is laying down the backbeat with the recipe for a light, crisp, and crushable lager; Crosby is providing the chords with a chorus of hops – Amarillo®, Centennial, Chinook, Idaho 7®, and Sterling – that you can mix and arrange to craft your next brewery hit.
