To celebrate their heritage and help to raise money for Community Food Share, Boulder Beer Company invites one and all to the GOATSHED REVIVAL on Saturday, August 25th, from 1 – 8pm. The Goatshed Revival will take place outside of Boulder Beer Company, 2880 Wilderness Place, Boulder, Colorado.

In 1979, two homebrewing CU professors were granted the 43rd brewing license in U.S. history and a brewing revolution began in Colorado. They set up the original brewhouse in a goatshed north of Boulder, so to commemorate their heritage in the goatshed and to celebrate how far the brewery has come, Boulder Beer wants to toast their 28th year of craft brewing with style. What better way than to spread the love and help out local people in need. Partnering with Community Food Share, the brewery is striving to raise funds during the Goatshed Revival that will provide food for local individuals and families that are in need. The event is free to all ages; however, a suggested donation upon entering the festival, as well as proceeds from the event, will go directly to Community Food Share.

Over 40,000 people in Boulder and Broomfield Counties live in poverty and are at risk for hunger and food insecurity. Community Food Share exists so that people in Boulder and Broomfield Counties are food secure. The average monthly income of their clients is $800, and approximately 15% of those served are families. In 2006, Community Food Share distributed over 3.4 million meals, consistent with the Food Guide Pyramid. Every $1 raised at the Goatshed Revival will provide four meals for Community Food Share’s clients.

A new element to the Goatshed Revival this year is a homebrew competition. Each year, Boulder Beer taps a special commemorative beer at the party and this year they’ve decided to give a homebrewer a try. The winning homebrewer will get to come in and brew 6 kegs worth of his/her winning beer to tap at the Goatshed Revival. The winner will also receive Free Beer for a Year from Boulder Beer Company.
