You may remember the joke about the notion of an “emotional support beer” from 2020, but now there’s one in real life. New York-based microbrewery, Woodstock Brewing, has created a Citra IPA that comes in a colorful can that reads “Emotional Support Beer.”
To create the beer, Woodstock Brewing collaborated with Floyd Hayes—a man who made headlines in early 2020 for trying to register a pint of beer as an emotional support animal under the USA Service Dog Registration.
A portion of the proceeds earned from this limited-time brew will go to Operation At Ease, which is a charity that pairs shelter dogs with deserving veterans and first responders.
So far, the beer is sold out at Woodstock’s Phoenicia location. Local retailers throughout the Hudson Valley and Eastern New York have stocked up on “limited quantities” of the seasonal brew, but it’s not clear how long supplies will last.
