New Jersey's Montclair Brewery salutes the legendary Awesome 2, and celebrates 50 years of Hip-Hop with Salute, a crisp golden ale available on draught, and in cans. Montclair Brewery’s co-owner and general manager Denise Ford Sawadogo grew up on Hip-Hop and is excited to be part of the collaboration. “I am excited about Hip-Hop turning 50, and I definitely wanted to do something special to celebrate this accomplishment,” she says.
Her husband and co-owner/head brewer, Leo Sawadogo’s earlier career was as a radio host back in his home country in West Africa, and he is also a huge music connoisseur. “I really loved meeting Awesome 2 and learning how they have traveled the world, including to London, and the Ivory Coast to share the hip-hop movement,” he adds.
“When they came to us with the idea of brewing a golden ale for Hip-Hop’s golden anniversary, I couldn’t refuse.” Salute is available in their tap room on draught and cans to go as well as available at select restaurants, bars, and liquor stores in New Jersey & New York.
