Dear Charlotte brewery community and its brewers,

QCBF 2021 will be in the form of a collective beer for ACEing Autism initiative.

Introducing: “Court Shoes Only“, a Double IPA recipe crafted to benefit ACEing Autism-Charlotte tennis programs for individuals with autism. To keep with the theme and spirit of QCBF, we’re asking participating breweries that brew their interpretation of the Court Shoes Only base recipe to release their variant the week of February 1st, ahead of Super Bowl weekend. Proceeds donated from sales of Court Shoes Only support ACEing Autism Charlotte programs.

Court Shoes Only is a Double IPA recipe co-developed by Chad Henderson of NoDa Brewing and Chris “Tropes” Tropeano from Resident Culture.

I would like to extend my thanks to all within this incredible community for their support and enthusiasm toward QCBF and ACEing Autism over the years, and let’s collectively put on our best Court Shoes Only this coming year!

Cheers,
Nils Weldy
