What it is
The 6–7 collaboration, launched in partnership with No Label Brewing, is a nationwide brewery initiative that turns a 6.7 percent American IPA into direct support for local schools. Breweries partner with a school or education focused organization in their community, brew or release the beer, and donate proceeds locally.
It’s a simple way to give people a reason to visit their taproom, order a beer, and support education where they live.
“As schools across the country face increasing pressure, PTAs play a critical role in providing stability and care for students and teachers. Initiatives like this give communities a meaningful and creative way to show up when schools need it most.”

How to participate
Step 1: Choose a school or education focused organization to support
Step 2: Sign up to receive the recipe and artwork by email.
Step 3: Brew and release the 6.7 percent American IPA
Step 4: Submit your donation and be counted in the impact
Because state laws around charitable donations vary, breweries may choose the donation structure that works best for their location. Common approaches include donating a portion of beer sales, contributing a flat dollar amount per pint or per batch, or making a one-time donation tied to the release.
Use #67beer and tag @craftbeerprofessionals when you share your release so we can amplify it.

Collaboration Artwork
The artwork for the collaboration is being created by Chris Hernandez, a graphic designer and illustrator within the craft beer industry who has also co-authored multiple children’s books. His involvement reinforces the project’s connection to education and storytelling while giving the beer a visual identity that stands apart from typical collaboration releases.
