\"RBC<\/a>Charlotte, N.C. \u2013 Adelbert\u2019s Brewery<\/a> of Austin, Texas, and The Rare Beer Club\u00ae, which ships unique craft beers nationwide, are teaming up to benefit the Pints for Prostates campaign.<\/p>\n

Adelbert\u2019s is releasing specially labeled bottles of Scratchin’ Hippo<\/a> to create awareness and support the mission of Pints for Prostates, which uses the universal language of beer to reach men with an important health message. This award winning Bi\u00e8re de Garde will feature a limited edition label with the Pints for Prostates logo exclusively available through The Rare Beer Club.<\/p>\n

Scratchin\u2019 Hippo is a 6.9 percent alcohol by volume traditional, rustic artisanal French-style farmhouse ale. Its complex malt-driven flavor elicits notes of toasted caramel, roasted malts and cocoa, complimented by a mild sweetness.<\/p>\n

\"adelberts-scratchin-hippo\"<\/a>\u201cScratchin\u2019 Hippo is one of our most popular and unique beers. It is named for a massive hippo in Kenya that decided one night to scratch itself by rubbing up against the house where my brother Del, the namesake of the brewery, was living. He thought it was an earthquake,\u201d said Scott Hovey, Founder and Brewmaster of Adelbert\u2019s Brewery. \u201cWe are happy to partner with Pints for Prostates and the Rare Beer of the Month Club on this project to help raise awareness about prostate cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The limited edition label features the Pints for Prostates<\/a> logo, which includes the blue ribbon to remind people of the ongoing search for a cure to prostate cancer, a leading cause of death among American men. A donation for every 750 milliliter bottle of Adelbert\u2019s Scratchin\u2019 Hippo sold through The Rare Beer Club will be made to Pints for Prostates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe annual release of a special beer through The Rare Beer of the Month Club helps us to connect with guys and urge them to take charge of their health by getting screened for prostate cancer,\u201d said Rick Lyke, a prostate cancer survivor who founded Pints for Prostates after successful prostate cancer surgery in April 2008. \u201cWe are extremely grateful to Adelbert\u2019s and The Rare Beer of the Month Club for helping us to achieve our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the sixth year The Rare Beer Club<\/a>\u00ae has partnered with Pints for Prostates on this project and we\u2019re always pleased to do so as it\u2019s a great cause and our members really look forward to a unique beer each year. Adelbert\u2019s is a great craft brewery that we\u2019ve only worked with one other time in 20 years, so we\u2019re really excited to be working with them again,\u201d said President Kris Calef. \u201cTogether with the brewery, we\u2019ll donate $1.00 for every bottle sold and include a Pints for Prostates information card in each shipment to remind our members to get tested. A little education and early detection goes a long way to save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

To get the specially labeled version of Scratchin\u2019 Hippo join The Rare Beer Club<\/a> online or call 800-625-8238 and be sure to start your membership in September. .<\/p>\n

According to the National Cancer Institute, prostate cancer will claim the lives of nearly 30,000 men in the U.S. during 2015. Prostates cancer is 33 percent more common in men than breast cancer is in women, yet few men know they should get a prostate health screening at age 40. The release is part of the Pints for Prostates Oktoberfest for a Cure observance that is taking place from August through October.<\/p>\n

About The Rare Beer Club\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Microbrewed Beer of the Month Club\u2122 offers four different options for consumers. From the very inception of our original domestic beer of the month club in 1994, we’ve focused on consistently providing three primary product characteristics: Quality, Variety & Freshness. And in that spirit, we now offer you four outstanding beer club options, each dedicated to those same principles. Our owner’s favorite club features the finest the world of beer has to offer in limited-release, celebratory, artisanal beers from some of Michael Jackson’s favorite breweries. Two different selections are presented each month in 750 ml bottles, often cork finished, and some individually tissue wrapped. Members experience bold U.S. and imported interpretations of Farmhouse Ales, Russian Imperial Stouts, Barley Wines, Belgian Abbey Ales, varied Imperial, Extreme, Strong Ale and Grand Cru offerings, oak-aged ales imparting bourbon and vanilla notes, and much more. Many selections are pushing the envelope of creativity, are not yet distributed in the U.S., and brewed such that they can be cellared and aged.<\/p>\n
