Sierra Nevada Brewing Company has been strategic in planning how it might help nearby locals affected by the devastating Camp Fire. Last week, the company launched the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief fund, and seeded it with an initial $100,000. Now, the company founded by brewing pioneer Ken Grossman takes its efforts much further.

As Sierra Nevada writes in a Facebook post, the company sent out a "bat signal" to breweries nationwide, asking breweries to volunteer to make a fundraiser beer and donate 100 percent of the proceeds to the Camp Fire relief.

Sierra Nevada would provide the recipe and as many raw ingredients (malts and hops) as possible to anyone with the bandwidth to take part in the coordinated collaboration brew day on Nov. 27.

"Hundreds" of breweries stepped forward to brew the beer, a 6.7 percent traditional West Coast-style IPA that Sierra Nevada dubbed the Resilience Butte County Proud IPA. Some brewing companies, including San Diego's Mike Hess Brewing, Ontario's Strum Brewing, Redding's Final Draft Brewing Company, Virginia's Hardywood Park and Portland, Ore.'s Ex Novo Brewing and others also pledged their support in the Facebook comments.

Among those taking part locally in the fundraiser are Santa Rosa's Russian River Brewing — who themselves organized a similarly massive fundraising effort after the Tubbs Fire last year — as well as Livermore's Altamont, Oakland United Beerworks, Sonoma Springs Brewing, San Francisco's Speakeasy, and Berkeley's Fieldwork.

Sierra Nevada is hoping to release more than 2,000 BBLs (barrels) of the beer, both in cans and in kegs for draft lines around the country.
