Hop Zombie Day!
September 28th

Alert…Alert…The Hop Zom­bies are coming.…

Every year, for one day only, we unleash the hop zombies!

Join us Sept. 28th for a can/draft release of our most antic­i­pat­ed beer of the year — A deli­cious­ly hopped, Impe­r­i­al Red IPA. Weigh­ing in at 9%ABV and 90 IBUs, this beer is cer­tain to raise the dead.…or at least we hope.

12oz Hop Zom­bie cans will be avail­able to pur­chase indi­vid­u­al­ly, in a 4‑pack or by the case*. Sup­plies are lim­it­ed as this beer is only avail­able one day out of the year. There will be a very lim­it­ed amount of spe­cial glass­ware and cus­tom t‑shirt to pur­chase the day of the event as well.

Each year there are a hand­ful of devot­ed souls who arrive in the wee hours of the morn­ing to guar­an­tee them­selves all the good­ies. There­fore, Ol’ Skool Que BBQ truck will be serv­ing up their green chili break­fast bowls before we open and will be around all day serv­ing up their tasty smoked meats. Col­orado Piz­za Co will also be on hand around serv­ing up their piz­za­’s that they cook right in front of your eyes.

The first TEN peo­ple in line will go home with a free lim­it­ed edi­tion zom­bie glass! We’ll also be serv­ing up a com­ple­men­tary beer­mosa or bloody beer to any soul that arrives before we open.

September Charity of the Month
Foothills Animal Shelter

We are excit­ed to announce Foothills Ani­mal Shel­ter as our Sep­tem­ber Char­i­ty of the month!
Foothills Ani­mal Shel­ter is an open-admis­sions facil­i­ty, which means they nev­er turn away an ani­mal. They care for more than 12,000 cats, kit­tens, dogs, pup­pies and crit­ters every year with a com­pas­sion­ate team of staff and vol­un­teers. (Unfor­tu­nate­ly, they can not accept wild ani­mals; they should be tak­en to orga­ni­za­tions who spe­cial­ize in their care.) They are a true com­mu­ni­ty resource and offer a vari­ety of ser­vices includ­ing pet adop­tion, Jef­fer­son Coun­ty pet licens­ing, afford­able spay­ing and neu­ter­ing, vac­ci­na­tions, microchip­ping and lost and found pets. They are so focused on our impor­tant mis­sion and the life-sav­ing work that we do every day of the year, that we are pleased to announce our com­mit­ment to the Social­ly Con­scious Ani­mal Com­mu­ni­ty move­ment. The fun­da­men­tal goal of this com­mit­ment is to cre­ate the best out­comes for all ani­mals. Please click here­to learn more about the ways in which we aim to reach these out­comes and to find ways to get involved.
