MISSOULA, MONTANA—Imagine Nation Brewing Company
<https://www.imaginenationbrewing.com/> and WildEarth Guardians
<https://wildearthguardians.org/> have teamed up to create Wolf Hearted
IPA. The new specialty beer will be released to the public on Friday,
January 28 at the brewery (1151 W Broadway St.) starting at 12 pm, with
WildEarth Guardians staff present for a special event from 5 to 8 pm. Wolf
Hearted IPA will be available on tap at the brewery and also available in a
“wolf pack-four pack” at the brewery and at select locations across
Missoula.

“Wolf Hearted IPA raises awareness to the decimation of wolves in several
states after they have been delisted from the Endangered Species Act,”
explained Robert Rivers, co-owner of Imagine Nation Brewing. “The purpose
of this beer is to flag this concern and create constructive space around
the issue so that people of differing viewpoints can engage positively and
find a transformative path forward for all involved.”



“We are very grateful to Imagine Nation Brewing for brewing Wolf Hearted
IPA and their partnership to call attention to the dire situation facing
gray wolves across Montana and the northern Rockies,” said Sarah McMillian,
WildEarth Guardians’ conservation director. “It’s been a difficult winter
for those who have the wolf in their heart, so we encourage wolf defenders
to join us at the brewery this Friday, raise a glass for wolves, and learn
how they can take action to protect these beautiful creatures.”

Imagine Nation’s lead brewer, Sean Nevins, describes Wolf Hearted IPA
as showcasing
a big bubblegum aroma followed by soft flavors of honeydew melon, citrus
medley, and starfruit.

The beautiful 16-ounce can
<https://pdf.wildearthguardians.org/support_docs/wolf-hearted-ipa.pdf> features
this message: “After losing Endangered Species Act protections, states have
begun passing laws and regulations that have decimated wolf packs across
the west. WildEarth Guardians knows that the public can make a difference
in this fight. This beer is an invitation to every lover of the wild: raise
a glass, have the heart of a wolf, and take action at
WildEarthGuardians.org.”
