After Hurricane Helene ravaged Western North Carolina in September 2024, DSSOLVR launched Higher Calling, a collaborative Hazy IPA project to raise funds for those affected. DSSOLVR provided a base recipe, a list of suppliers providing donated/discounted ingredients (including Riverbend!), and a label template, then invited breweries from across the country to brew the beer and donate 100% proceeds to the NC Craft Brewers Fund.

DSSOLVR chose to brew a Double Dry-Hopped version with 100% Riverbend malts.
