Cause of the Year: Brave Noise. Brienne Allan, Ash Eliot, Ren Navarro and Jen Blair launched the collaboration beer project that honors the thousands of women who shared their stories of discrimination, harassment, sexual assault and racism while working in the brewing industry. So far, more than 150 breweries in 31 states and 4 countries have signed up to brew Brave Noise. Each participating brewery is asked to link to their code of conduct through a QR code on the beer’s label and to donate proceeds to a non-profit organization that works to create safer spaces in the beer and hospitality industries.
