Longmont’s craft brewers and St. Vrain Cidery have joined forces to brew up something special for Longmont Startup Week. It is a collaboration for Longmont and about Longmont. It is a beer made exclusively for Longmont Startup Week and only available during Startup Week called Wannaprenuer. Join us and be the first to try this exclusive, limited edition “beer for a cause” at the Wannaprenuer Keg Tapping and Opening Party for Longmont Startup Week at 300 Suns Brewery! Not only will you be the first to taste this blond apple ale using local ingredients, but you will also be making S#*t happen by supporting the Longmont Ignite! Fund, which benefits our local entrepreneurs. A portion of the sales of each Wannapreneur will go to Longmont Igninte! The first 100 guests through the door will also score a free, souvenir Wannapreneur pint glass!
The Wannapreneur will be available at each of the breweries participating in the collaboration during Longmont Startup Week only! Those breweries include: 300 Suns, Oskar Blues, Left Hand Brewery, Open Door Brewery, Skeye Brewing, Shoes & Brews, Wibby Brewing, The Pumphouse, Grossen Bart, and Bootstrap Brewing. St. Vrain Cidery is also a part of the collaboration, providing the apple juice using in the brewing process. The beer is being brewed at 300 Suns Brewery.
