This Wednesday at 5pm, Adams Morgan beer, barbecue, and bourbon joint Smoke and Barrel will team up with a new charitable endeavor, H.O.P.S. (Helping Oppressed Peoples Survive) to raise money for refugees through the International Rescue Committee. The event’s concept, “IPA Insanity”, aims to bring hoppy beers that are as fresh as possible, possibly kegged day-of, to consumers. All of the beers on offer as part of the fundraiser will be $5 all night, while supplies last, and 100% of proceeds of the donated kegs (listed below) will go to the International Rescue Committee. H.O.P.S. will also be accepting cash donations on that night.

Here’s the list of what will be available on Wednesday:

• DC Brau – On the Wings of Armageddon
• Stone – Enjoy By 2/14
