Thompson Island brew supports IPAs for MIAs thru May 30

May 23, 2024

Thompson Island Brewing Company is gearing up for the summer season with the annual release of 1776, a hazy IPA brewed to raise funds for Project Recover’s IPAs for MIAs program.

Continuing through Thursday, May 30, $1 from each draft of 1776 sold will be dedicated to supporting Project Recover, an initiative focused on locating and repatriating the remains of soldiers missing in action since World War II. Founded by Dr. Mark Moline, a marine biology professor at the University of Delaware's Lewes campus, Project Recover embodies the spirit of honoring and remembering those who served the country.

The inspiration behind 1776 stems from Thompson Island's commitment to supporting meaningful causes. Nelia Dolan, vice president of Southern Delaware Brewing, said, "Breweries have a unique opportunity to make a positive impact, and we're proud to stand with Project Recover through our IPAs for MIAs program."

Crafted with 100% American hops, including Bru-1, Sabro and El Dorado, 1776 boasts tantalizing notes of pineapple, peach, and coconut, a fitting tribute to the flavors of summer and the spirit of Memorial Day.

Justin Leahy, the creative force behind the brew, described 1776 as the perfect companion for Memorial Day celebrations and outdoor gatherings.

Thompson Island will also have 1776 four-packs available for carryout.
