Share Post

Eight local craft breweries are teaming up to sponsor and build a Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity home through a Community Funded initiative.

Black Bottle Brewery, C.B. & Potts Restaurant & Brewery, Coopersmith’s Pub & Brewing, Equinox Brewing, Fort Collins Brewery, Odell Brewing, New Belgium Brewing and Pateros Creek Brewing will contribute sales from designated kegs starting in August and have offered individualized brewer-based rewards on the Community Funded profile to help fund this home by August 31, 2013.

The goal of the project, coined the House That Beer Built (HTBB), and its associated Community Funded initiative is use the community to help raise $100,000 to build a home for the Andrasik Family, the HTBB Partner Family who lost their home last summer in the High Park Fire.

Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity will be rebuilding on the family’s same land in Rist Canyon. The ground breaking and ground blessing for the Andrasik home will take place on July 10, 2013 at the site in Stratton Park in Rist Canyon.

Community members can donate money through the HTBB profile on the Community Funded website,http://communityfunded.com/projects/fchabitat/house-that-beer-built.; donors have the opportunity to receive rewards donated by the various breweries for their contributions. Community members can also offer in-kind goods or skills or volunteer to help build the HTBB alongside the Andrasik Family.
