Beer geeks are, whether they know it or not, social activists. Do you enjoy drinking at your hometown brewery? You’re supporting small businesses. Do you like fresh-hopped beers? You’re supporting local farmers. Have you ever enjoyed a Silverback Pale Ale from Wynkoop? You’re raising money for gorilla conservation. You don’t have to boast nasty-ass dreadlocks, [...]
