A Creative Beer Collaboration to Help Musicians and Crews Put Out of Work by COVID-19
Craft a Rockin’ Lager and Give Some Sweet Relief to Musicians
Walk into any brewery and you’ll hear music, serving as a soundtrack to brew days and taproom revelry. And for its part, beer has influenced the creation and enjoyment of music, elevating the experience for artists and audiences. Rock On honors that connection with a brewing project to benefit Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial assistance to musicians and music industry workers struggling to make ends meet.
Crosby Hops, MxPx, and Silver City Brewery teamed up to create Rock On Crafted Lager™ to support Sweet Relief. We invite you to join in and create your own rendition. MxPx is providing the inspiration; Silver City is laying down the backbeat with the recipe for a light, crisp, and crushable lager; Crosby is providing the chords with a chorus of hops – Amarillo®, Centennial, Chinook, Idaho 7®, and Sterling – that you can mix and arrange to craft your next brewery hit.
HERE’S HOW TO JOIN THE ROCK ON LINEUP:

5
No labels? No problem. Supporting Rock On through draft pours is cool, too.
6
Collaborate with musicians to help promote the cause. Silver City Brewery is partnering with renowned pop-punk rockers MxPx – who do you want to support?
7
Celebrate YOUR Rock On Crafted Lager’s release with music – bring in bands, stream a live show, or spin the songs that moved you to take part – and amplify it with #rockonbeer.
Crosby Hops will contribute 100% of the profits from Rock On hops purchased between May 10 and July 1 to Sweet Relief. You can mix and match up to 44 pounds of eligible varieties. In their own distinct ways, music and beer are the culmination of creativity and expression. Let’s see what you can conjure up to create your ideal, concert-worthy lager.
Use Silver City’s Rock On Crafted Lager recipe to riff on and create something all your own.

Since 1994, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund has provided assistance to career musicians and music industry workers who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems. It helps with critical medical and living expenses, including insurance premiums, prescriptions, treatments and procedures, housing and food costs, and utilities.
Located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Crosby Hops is a hop grower and vendor serving the global craft beer market. A company of musicians and music lovers, giving back is a core tenant of Crosby’s business, making Rock On both a passion project and an opportunity to rally around some of those hit hardest by COVID-19.
Located in Bremerton, Washington, Silver City Brewery has partnered with their local music community over the years, collaborating on numerous band-themed beer releases. Two of their favorites have been with internationally renowned pop-punk rockers, and Bremerton’s own, MxPx: Secret Weapon California Common and Best Life IPA. These experiences, and the hardships caused by COVID-19, are what inspired Silver City’s idea for Rock On.
