Great Rail Ale is now available at Verboten Brewing, Grimm Brothers Brewhouse, Big Thompson Brewery and Loveland Ale. Pick up a “Great Rail Ticket” booklet at any of these establishments and have them stamp your booklet when you order. When you collect stamps from all 4 breweries, bring your booklet to Verboten for a free glass and beer coupon. (while supplies last)

Save the GW Depots Committee is also offering limited edition taster train box cars, pint and taster glasses for sale. Stop by and pick up a couple.
We’d like to thank all those who have made this fundraiser possible: Verboten Brewing, Grimm Brothers Brewhouse, Loveland Aleworks, Big Thompson Brewery, Creator Space, Loveland, and Advanced Direct Marketing Inc. and our volunteers.
