Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales, North Peak Brewing Company, and Hyperion Coffee are thrilled to announce the release of two special collaboration beers on March 15th. This unique partnership brings together a shared passion for craft, community, and creativity—culminating in a heartfelt celebration that honors the memory of our dear friend and right-hand-man for the Kitchen, Grant Smith.

As part of this collaboration, Jolly Pumpkin will release Rojzilla Con Cascara, a unique brew featuring Hyperion’s Cascara and Las Lajas Double Diamond, while North Peak will unveil Cafe Uno Porter, made with Hyperion’s own Cafe Uno. 

To mark this exciting coffee inspired release, The Kitchen at Jolly Pumpkin will open early for an all-day brunch, featuring a delicious menu curated by Chef Maggie Long. Our friends at Hyperion Coffee will also be on-site, serving fresh espresso shots in the morning, setting the perfect tone for a day of wholesome food, craft beverages, and camaraderie.This event is especially meaningful to us as we approach one year since Grant’s passing due to pancreatic cancer. In his honor, we are choosing to channel our grief into something positive. As Grants friend and co-worker Claire Lloyd beautifully expressed, “Instead of stewing in sadness and grief, let’s turn it into something positive.” With that spirit, we are dedicating this celebration to Grant and committing 25% of sales to Lustgarten Pancreatic Cancer Research, the world’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research.

We invite our community to come together on March 15th to celebrate life, friendship, and the joy of collaboration. Join us as we raise a glass to Grant and support a cause that means so much to us all.
