Eden’s Harvest, Inc. in San Francisco, California is making waves in the craft beer industry with the launch of its crowdfunding campaign on the Title3Funds platform. This innovative company is inviting investors to be part of a groundbreaking project - the creation of the world's first craft beer brewed with Chaga mushrooms sourced exclusively from Alaskan Birch trees.

Eden’s Harvest has pioneered a proprietary process to craft beer using pollutant-free Chaga mushrooms, harvested sustainably from the pristine boreal forests of Alaska. These mushrooms are renowned for their rich nutrient content and powerful bioactive compounds, which offer potential health benefits ranging from improved liver function to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. With each 12 oz. Eden’s Harvest Beer packing the antioxidant punch of 6 lbs of blueberries, the potential market appeal is significant.

Led by Brewmaster Chris Anderson, whose brewing expertise spans over two decades and includes numerous accolades and awards, Eden’s Harvest is poised to revolutionize the beverage industry. Their initial offerings of functional mushroom craft beers have already gained traction in California, with plans for national distribution throughout 2024.

In anticipation of the rare celestial event on April 8, Lawson’s Finest Liquids in Waitsfield, Vermont is thrilled to introduce their latest creation, Path of Totality (7.5% ABV), a special Black IPA designed to honor the upcoming complete solar eclipse. Available exclusively within the path of totality for a limited period, enthusiasts can savor this unique brew at Lawson’s Finest’s iconic destination brewery and taproom in Waitsfield, Vermont, and in select New York outlets.

The highly-anticipated solar eclipse, where the moon aligns perfectly between the sun and the earth, will cast its shadow over Northern Vermont from approximately 2:14 p.m. to 4:37 p.m., marking the region's first total eclipse occurrence since 1932.

Crafted as an ode to nature's grandeur, Path of Totality is a beer that captures the essence of this cosmic spectacle. Boasting a recipe infused with Eclipse hops and a blend of darker malts, this IPA exhibits a rich, roasty character and a striking dark hue. The tantalizing interplay of zesty citrus and fresh pine notes from Eclipse hops, coupled with the robust malt profile, promises a sensory journey like no other.
