Resilience Butte County Proud IPA @ See participating breweries below

Date/ Time: Thursday December 27- Sunday December 30 from 12pm-6pm

Details:  Join the breweries of Northern Colorado in supporting the people of Northern California whose lives have been so drastically affected by the Camp Fire. We’ve brewed up Sierra Nevada‘s recipe for Resilience Butte County Proud IPA and are launching it in our tasting rooms December 27. Each co-hosting brewery below has at least a keg to sell to y’all, so come on in and enjoy a pint with us. 100% of proceeds will be sent to SN’s Camp Fire relief fund to be put to work in Butte County. Beer will be on tap until it’s gone. Timing on this event may vary depending on when each taproom is open.

Thanks for joining us in this effort!
