The Colorado State Senate Brewing a batch of Senate Shout Out Stout at Cannonball Creek Brewing for Hop The Vote 2015.
Colorado Brewers Guild Brings Hop the Vote Back to GABF
It is time to start planning for GABF! Last year we introduced Hop the Vote, a spirited but friendly brewing competition held between Colorado State House of Representatives and Colorado State Senators. This year we are doing it again.
Hop the Vote was launched to highlight the vital role beer plays in the Colorado economy and the relationship between lawmakers and Colorado craft brewers. Last year, the Colorado House of Representatives team and Denver Beer Co. won with a beer called Representative Saison. The team was honored inside the State Capitol with a custom brewing trophy.
The wheels are already in motion for the 2015 battles of the houses.. The Colorado House of Representative team will brew at Big Choice Brewing on Saturday, July 18. Team members include Jeni James Arndt, Polly Lawrence, Paul Lundeen, Dan Pabon, Kim Ransom and Yeullin Willet. The Colorado State Senate team will be brewing at Cannonball Creek on Tuesday, July 21. This team is made up of Chris Holbert, Matt Jones, Andy Kerr, Tim Neville and Pat Steadman.
During each session of GABF, team members will be pouring and campaigning for their beer at the Colorado Brewers Guild booth. GABF attendees will try both beers and cast a vote for their favorite brew. The winner will be announced at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday. Beers will be available for sampling during the Saturday evening session.
Make sure to follow us on social media for updates on the progress of this competition. During GABF make a plan to stop by our booth and vote. Your vote counts!
