DESCRIPTION:
Join us Friday\, October 3rd from 5pm-8pm for the much anticipated 2008 release of Fresh Hop Pale Ale and Hibernation Ale. Fresh Hop is an American-style pale ale brewed with freshly picked “wet hops” from the Yakima Valley of Washington. Hibernation Ale is Great Divide’s celebrated winter tradition and many consider it to be Colorado’s original strong ale.
Both beers will be available on draft and paired with a fine assortment of artisan cheeses and cured meats. $15 per person.

A message from KROC\:
Hello Rock Hoppers Brew Club\,
I'm Jim Fixari from the Keg Ran Out Club (KROC) in Broomfield\, CO and I'd like to extend a personal invitation to your club members to attend our 14th Annual WBF on Thursday\, October 9th which is the first day of GABF. I've attached a PDF copy of our poster that describes what our event is all about. If you've been to any of our previous events you know what a great time you have listening to our speakers\, sampling homebrew\, and winning lots of goodies in our raffle and silent auction. If you haven't been to our event before it is \\"THE\\" homebrew event of the GABF week and a guaranteed great time.

I want to thank the Deschutes Brewery for helping me arrange this event &\; for

Also we have a few special taps of special beers left that you just might be
interested in....
