Hard Core Gore, a unique beer for a unique man, will be brewed once every year in loving memory of our friend, employee and co-conspirator, Jason Gore. Jason succumbed to cancer in September, 2010. He would have been 28 tomorrow. Hard Core Gore is a Belgo-American Imperial IPA, and was formulated in 2011 by former NABC brewer Jared Williamson.

Monday, March 21, would have been the 27th birthday for Jason Gore. Sadly, we lost Jason to cancer in September, 2010.

Jason was a longtime NABC employee and a friend to all, in addition to being one of those special, distinctive personalities one sometimes has the good fortune to meet while traveling through life.

Jared Williamson, brewer at NABC's Pizzeria & Public House location, has formulated and brewed Hard Core Gore, a special tribute to Jason. A Belgo-American IPA, Hard Core Gore is a "unique beer for a unique man," according to Jared. It will begin pouring on Monday, March 21.
