New Belgium and Fat Tire Donate $120,000 To Wildfire Relief
Remember the vicious wildfires that ripped through our state?
Right, who could ever forget the smoky skies, the horrifying devastation, and the lasting pollution the Cameron Peak Fire and East Troublesome Fire left us with in Northern Colorado?
Not only is our landscape still attempting to heal as rain and snow sweeps through NoCo, but locals are still feeling the burn. That s why local organizations, including one of my all-time favorite local breweries, are stepping up to help.
New Belgium s flagship brew, Fat Tire, has made a pretty impressive pledge. According to their Instagram feed, they ve already made a $120,000 donation to wildfire relief, and will continue to donate $1 for each new follower they gain until April 12. See the Instagram post for yourself right here:

Grand County is working to bring the National Flood Insurance Program to residents and businesses locally who face higher flood risks following the East Troublesome Fire.
In order to participate in the flood insurance program, Grand County’s Office of Emergency Management and Community Development have created draft floodplain regulations, which include permits for development in floodplain areas and development requirements to minimize flooding damage.
