Drink Craft Beer for Resilience

Want to drink beer and make a difference in the world? Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in California brewed a special Resilience Butte County Proud IPA. Sales from the craft beer are donated to the victims of the Campfire. Over four dozen Colorado breweries have the brew on tap, including many in Northern Colorado.

The Camp Fire, which started in early November, left at least 85 people dead and burned more than 153,000 acres. It destroyed about 19,000 structures in its path. Sierra Nevada felt the pains of the community and launched the fundraising efforts for Resilience on Giving Tuesday. 100 percent of the craft beer proceeds go to the Camp Fire Relief Fund.
