When we say “Jersey’s Finest,” it’s often said with judgmental sarcasm.

This time, “Jersey’s Finest” will be associated with a fine beer, collaborated between two fine breweries, for a fine evening, tonight at 6 p.m at the Iron Hill Maple Shade location.
Jersey’s Finest is an “assertively hopped” American collaboration IPA between Chris LaPierre of Iron Hill Brewery and Casey Hughes of Flying Fish Brewing Company.

In early February, Flying Fish Brewing is debuting Forever Unloved (F.U.) Sandy, a hybrid wheat-pale ale with 100% of the proceeds going to New Jersey victims of hurricane Sandy.
Flying Fish founder Gene Muller says that “at Flying Fish, we proudly hail from the great state of New Jersey, so when tragedy struck, we knew immediately that we wanted to do something to help. Every single aspect of this beer, from the man-hours spent brewing it to the hops used to season it to the kegs that will contain it, has been donated so every cent brought in goes to Superstorm Sandy victims.”
Approximately 100 kegs of F.U. Sandy have been brewed, the sales of which will generate $50,000 towards Sandy relief efforts. Those charities will be nominated via Twitter and Facebook.
Look for the draft only beer throughout New Jersey and Philadelphia in early February.
