Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity and the Asheville Brewers Alliance (ABA) are excited to announce “The House That Beer Built”. This Habitat house will be funded and built by the local brewing community and beer lovers at-large. The Asheville Brewers Alliance has committed a generous lead gift, member breweries are participating in a myriad of ways, and there are ways for Asheville beer lovers to get involved too. House construction begins in November, and fundraising for the house is launching during the upcoming Beer Week 2017.
Here’s how
you can help:
Wednesday, May 31 – 4-8pm, SIGN A STUD WALL at New Belgium Brewery for suggested $1 donation.
This wall will be used in the actual construction of the House that Brewers
Built.
Friday,
June 2
– 5pm-close, RAISE A PINT at One
World Brewing to kick off their month of fundraising that
will support the House That Brewers Built.

of other opportunities as they arise, follow Asheville Area Habitat for
Humanity and the ABA on social media.
“The Asheville Brewers Alliance and
Habitat for Humanity have a long-standing relationship that we are excited to
continue and grow. Our local craft breweries are already so committed to
building community within our industry and with other local businesses and
nonprofits, so it seemed fitting to support the actual construction of a home
for one of our neighbors. We are honored to participate,” said Kendra Penland,
Executive Director of the Asheville Brewers Alliance.
Kit Rains,
Asheville Habitat’s Development Director added, “We are thrilled that the
breweries that add so much to Asheville’s culture have chosen to partner with
Habitat to help ease our city’s affordable housing crisis, and provide another
family the opportunity to build a better future on the foundation of the
stability that comes from owning a decent and affordable home. We can’t think
of a better way to celebrate the craft beer community and the spirit that makes
Asheville home for us all.”
