Working with local breweries, including Black Hog Brewing and Charter Oak Brewing, the Waterbury, CT distiller is working to not only rescue “trimmings” from the beer brewing process but also kegs that are expiring with restaurants and bars temporarily closed. With last Wednesday (April 22), being the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, it’s important to note that these products are typically dumped into area waterways.

In addition to helping the environment, $10 from each bottle of RELIEF will be placed in the CT Brewery Relief Fund, allowing Continuum to hire out-of-work staff members to help with pick-ups and production of this new line, as well as distribute a share to financially assist out-of-work employees from breweries donating product to create RELIEF.

RELIEF Drops is distilled from craft IPAs, and double distilled to offer an unaged, bright and hoppy flavor, offering hints of floral, circus and herbaceous flavors. Similar in flavor composition to a gin, it can be enjoyed in seasonal cucumber mint drinks, mixed with lemonade, in martinis or served on the rocks.

With an ABV of 46%, RELIEF Drops will be available for $35. A special promotion is also available offering three bottles of relief for $100, including a ticket into a raffle for a Continuum Barrel Club membership. This limited edition product will be available on or after May 1. Orders are accepted online here.
