Support Strike Brewing Company at Whole Foods Los Altos

Strike Brewing Company kegs

San Jose’s Strike Brewing Company will be featured as a Local Foodmaker Grant winner at the Los Altos Whole Foods Market on Wed., July 2 during the “5% Day” sale.

This means that Strike will receive 5% of all proceeds at the store as a reward for being selected a local foodmaker, which was determined through a Facebook voting campaign that took place last month.

Strike is on the verge of opening their taproom and announced earlier today that the first batch of beer hit the tanks. The first brewed beer will be the aptly named Opening Pitch Session Pale Ale.

As is the case with any soon-to-open business, there is always a need for additional funds. And in Strike’s case, the proceeds will go towards the purchase of all the raw ingredients that they are using to brew beer this week.

So if shopping is on the to-do list, consider supporting Strike by visiting the Los Altos Whole Foods on Wednesday.

About the Local Foodmaker Grants and 5% Day

Whole Foods Market began by selecting 120 local businesses in Northern California and Reno they were most excited about, and then tapped Working Solutions to hand it over to the community to vote on who they’d like to see receive the grant on 5% Day. Each of the 40 selected Whole Foods Market’s Local Foodmaker Grant winners expect to receive anywhere from $3,000 – $6,000, which is a significant financial boon for small producers hoping to fund anything from organic certification and Non-GMO Project verification, to a down payment on a delivery van or a batch of raw ingredients.
