Sandy Relief Beer started as a video project by Matt Furman, photographer, and Niko Krommydas, writer, but quickly morphed into a collaborative relief effort by eight local breweries after Hurricane Sandy devastated Long Island and destroyed Barrier Brewing Company in Oceanside.

The participants gathered at Blue Point Brewing Company on December 04, 2012 and brewed Surge Protector IPA, an India Pale Ale, to raise proceeds for victims of Hurricane Sandy and the temporarily closed brewery.

Each brewery donated an ingredient for Surge Protector IPA, exhibiting the solidarity of Long Island’s beer community.

——————————————————-

Long Island Cares, Inc. will receive one-half of all proceeds from Sandy Relief Beer.

Clare Rose Inc. is funding Sandy Relief Beer and handling all distribution of Surge Protector IPA.

The beer is labeled under Blue Point Brewing Company.
