Karl Strauss Brewing Company has initiated a philanthropic collaboration with Restaurants Care, a California-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting food-and-beverage workers facing financial hardships. Throughout 2025, the brewery will contribute a portion of sales from its Ridiculously Limited Release Series — four specialty beers, including collaborations with Pizza Port and Green Cheek Beer Company — to Restaurants Care's mission. The first offering, Nectaron of the Gods IPA (6.8% ABV), features tropical hop flavors and is currently available at Karl Strauss brewpubs and select California venues, with subsequent releases scheduled through the year.
The collaboration with Restaurants Care reflects Karl Strauss Brewing Company's long-standing commitment to community engagement.
