"In December 2020, Rob Hage received new hope for regaining his vision during a Chat From the Old Cap webinar featuring Stone, who discussed the IVR's mission and encouraging advances in vision research. The webinar inspired Hage to raise money and awareness to support the IVR through a hobby he started early in the pandemic: brewing beer. With the help of many family members and friends, Hage opened Blind Butcher Brewing this past September on his farm north of Inwood, Iowa, where a portion of the proceeds will go to support the IVR."
