HomeBrewed

Thank you to the 250 people who participated in the brisk 5K Fun Run/Walk/Crawl at the Walker Homestead, Sunday morning Nov 14. Over $14,000 was raised for the Coralville and North Liberty Food Banks, just in time for the holidays. Additional donations can be made at: https://www.coralvillefoodpantry.org/give; https://northlibertycommunitypantry.org/donor/donate-now/.

On Saturday evening Sept 18, about 100 people came out to Wilson's Orchard on a beautiful evening to enjoy the company of friends, listen to music and kick off the Jenifer (Dr. Jen) Wolfe Memorial Funding Campaign, an effort by the UI College of Dentistry and the Department of Pediatric Dentistry to support the College’s suicide prevention program in memory of a member of the Class of 2001. In addition, a small portion of these funds will be used to provide dental care to disadvantaged children. For more information and to contribute, please visit the funding campaign’s website:https://uigoldrush.org/drjen. A special thank you to Wilson's for hosting the event. Special night for a special cause.

HomeBrewed is co-sponsoring the "Socially Distant Beer Festival", a fundraiser for the 450 people who have lost their jobs at craft breweries and tap rooms in Iowa. 
It's tough duty but I know you are up to it: 
1. Buy a $5 ticket: https://www.virtualbeerfest.org/tickets 
2. Pick up some of your favorite craft beer 
3. Join others on Twitter, Facebook, and/or Instagram on Saturday, March 28, so we can drink beer together (from a safe distance), with the help of our hashtag, #virtualbeerfest 

If you are outside Iowa, please support the employees at your local craft breweries and tap rooms. 

If you aren't a big craft beer fan, please find another group that you can assist during these challenging times. 

While there lots of folks are in need, this is a small, low-cost way of helping those who have provided we craft beer fans with a small piece of liquid joy. 

Thanks for helping our friends and neighbors far and near.

A few that we would like to suggest you consider are:

1) Domestic Violence intervention program (DVIP

2) CommUnity Food Bank

3) Shelter House for the Homeless

All are trying to help the less fortunate during these trying times.

Please be safe and stay well physically and emotionally!

HomeBrewed was honored to be invited to play for the 2020 MLK work day celebration at Mercer Park in Iowa City. We played our original tribute song to Dr King, called Spirit of Hope, which speaks to what need in these divided times. Thank you MLK organizers!

About 75 people came out to the MIll to hear the unique blues of award winning singer/songwriter Kevin Burt and HomeBrewed. In addition to raising over $1000, the funds met a match donating an additional $500 and allowed the Food Bank to provide holiday meals to 1700 families!

The second annual Penfield Children's Center benefit concert at Linnemans in Milwaukee was enjoyed by a standing room only crowd who danced up a storm, as they donated over $2000 for this wonderful organization!

The Englert and FIlmscene were supported by at crowd at the Mill. You can still give to their Greatest Small City for the Arts Campaign at: https://strengthengrowevolve.org/

About 75 people enjoyed cool weather and hot music from Two Bit Maniac and Homebrewed in support of the great work of the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County outside of Stella. We are still trying to find the perfect date so that the weather is just right for this event  :0)

HomeBrewed appreciated the opportunity to play in support of the great work of the Shelter House and their great work for the homeless.

The 3-400 in attendance enjoyed great BBQ pork, community and seemed to really enjoy the music!
