(Colorado Brewers Guild board members not practicing social distancing)
With the coronavirus wreaking havoc on the US brewing and hospitality industry, new beers are now being offered that hope to help provide some relief…
Colorado Brewers Guild “In This Together” Pale Ale
Like many breweries in the US, the Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) is feeling the economic cost of COVID-19 which forced them to cancel two of the Guild’s most important fundraisers, Collaboration Fest and Colorado Pint Day.
And now 10 Colorado breweries will be selling beer that was originally brewed by CBG’s board member breweries for the Collaboration Fest, to help fund the work of the guild.
In This Together Pale Ale was created as a throwback to classic West Coast Pale Ales in celebration of the CBG’s origins in the mid-’90’s. In a modern twist, it features all Colorado malt from Loveland’s Root Shoot Malting and Fort Collins’ Troubadour Malts, with yeast from Inland Island Yeast. Centennial, Amarillo, and Chinook hops round out the ingredients.
Cans of In This Togethern Pale Ale will be available for purchase in 16 oz. 4-packs on April 9th at Joyride Brewing Company, 4 Noses Brewing Company (Broomfield), Barrels & Bottles (Golden), Broken Compass Brewing (Breckenridge), Epic Brewing (Denver), and Station 26 Brewing Co. (Denver). The beer will also be available for crowler and growler fills at Joyride Brewing Company and Periodic Brewery (Northglenn). Horse & Dragon Brewing Company and Odell Brewing Company, both of Fort Collins, also participated in the collaboration.
$1 from each 4-pack or equivalent will be donated to the CBG to support its mission to promote, protect, and propel independent craft breweries.
