Enjoy some Founders for a good cause in Flagstaff

If you needed to get away this weekend, might we recommend this event in Flagstaff?

This time of year is a bittersweet one for craft beer lovers. Bitter for those who didn’t score tickets to the Great American Beer Festival and SWEET for those who did.

If you need to nurse those wounds, there is an event coming up this weekend in Flagstaff, Arizona, that may just do the trick — Founders Far Out West Fest. This Saturday, Flagstaff’s newest brewery, Dark Sky Brewing Co., is hosting this fundraiser to benefit the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. During the summer months not a day goes by that we don’t hear about wildfires springing up across the country. Many brave men and women have given their lives protecting people from these fires and the Founders Far Out West Fest is one way to ensure that the families of these fallen heroes are provided for.

Now that you’ve gotten the guilt trip, here are the nuts and bolts.

Date: August 8
Time: 1 p.m.–5 p.m.
Location: Dark Sky Brewing, 117 N. Beave
