With more than 71 people now confirmed dead and more than 1000 still unaccounted for, the damage from Northern California’s Camp Fire is almost too painful to fathom. And Sierra Nevada is continuing its efforts to help its neighbors…
As part of its efforts the Chico-based brewery has announced that they’ll be brewing Resilience IPA, a special fundraising beer, and they’ll be 100% of its profits to organizations assisting victims of the devastating wildfire. And they’re also asking every other brewery in the country to brew the beer and do the same.
The Camp Fire, which started on November 8 in the hills above the brewery’s facility is now the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history,
The fire has already burned 142,000 acres, killed more than 71 people and left more than 1000 missing, destroyed more than 9,700 homes, and displaced nearly 14 percent of Sierra Nevada’s Chico employees.
Fire clouds the sky over Sierra Nevada
Days after the fire, the brewery established the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief fund, which will provide much-needed long-term support for community rebuilding efforts. All donations from Resilience IPA will go to this fund.
Additional donations towards this effort can be made here.
And on Friday, Sierra Nevada’s Ken Grossman sent out a special message asking his fellow brewers to join him in this much-needed disaster relief effort by brewing their own Resilience IPA.

Sierra Nevada will release their version of Resilience IPA in early January with limited distribution in cans and on draught.
