Rescue Brew 2025: Cheers to $88,960 Raised for Local Pets! 🐾🍻
What a year! Rescue Brew 2025, our beloved collaboration with NoDa Brewing Company, was a huge success—and it’s all thanks to YOU. Together, we raised $88,960 to support the lifesaving work of the Humane Society of Charlotte.
This year’s Top Dog and Queen City Kitty have officially made their debut on limited-edition Rescue Brew cans, featuring stunning custom portraits by Marla Kurzec (Marla K's Art). Cans are available now at NoDa Brewing Company—grab them while supplies last!
Our top 6 dogs and top 6 cats are also featured in the brand-new Rescue Brew 2026 Calendar, with gorgeous photos by Reflections by Rhiannon.
📆 Calendars are still available—order yours today and enjoy 12 months of furry cuteness while supporting animals in need. Calendars will also be available for purchase at HSC's Retail Center.

From all of us at HSC and NoDa Brewing, thank you for raising your glass (and your votes) to celebrate rescue pets and help them find the love they deserve. We'll drink to that!
Poured with Purpose
Poured with Purpose is NoDa Brewing's charity program designed to make a financial impact to non-profits in our area. For every pint ordered in our taproom on Tuesdays you'll receive a $1 token to use on their Impact Wall, supporting one of four charities, one being HSC! Simply drop your token into HSC's container, and at the end of the trimester, HSC will receive all of the collected donations. An additional match from NoDa Brewing Co will be given to the charity with the most donations at the end of the trimester of up to $500.
