A statement about Bonfire Brewing from RadCraft founder and CEO Emily Hutto.

EAGLE, CO— After nearly five years as Bonfire Brewing’s agency of record, RadCraft announced today the discontinuation of its work with the brewery.
Emily Hutto, RadCraft founder and CEO, issued the following statement about the company’s relationship with Bonfire Brewing.
It’s been an exceptional honor to work directly with Bonfire Brewing’s co-founders Andy and Amanda Jessen as the brewery agency of record since 2017. They initially reached out through a referral from Western Distributing, a connection that I am deeply grateful for.
I am humbled to tell the Bonfire Brewing story; however I recognize that it is fundamentally impossible to do so without the inclusion of both Andy and Amanda. Since Andy’s tragic death in an avalanche in Silverton on February 1, 2021, the Bonfire board of directors president has prohibited co-founder Amanda Jessen, our primary contact for all brewery communications, from managing and executing company operations. This prevents RadCraft from effectively executing Bonfire’s media relations, and more importantly it does not recognize Amanda as an integral part of the company narrative— a depravity for which we do not stand.
To my friend and my sounding board Andy, thank you for sharing your story and your passions with us at RadCraft. Without your leadership and friendship we would not be in so many places— including this one of defending your honor.
It has been the privilege of my career to be included in the BonFamily. To each and every one, thank you for your contributions and loyalty to the Eagle County and Colorado craft beer communities.
May we always gather ‘round.
Going forward, media inquiring about Bonfire Brewing should reach out to the brewery directly.
Bonfire Block Party Festival Takes New Shape in 2021
Current ticket holders have two refund options.
EAGLE, CO– Due to continued revisions to local and statewide restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bonfire Brewing and Optimum Events announced today that while the 2021 Bonfire Block Party will not happen as planned on June 4 - 6, 2021, they are optimistic about bringing live music to Eagle later this summer.
Individuals who still hold tickets purchased for the 2020 Bonfire Block Party should follow the instructions outlined on the Bonfire Block Party website. Ticket holders are asked to choose from two options: 1) They can receive a full refund, or 2) They can donate their ticket funds towards continuing support efforts following the tragic death of Bonfire Brewing co-founder Andy Jessen earlier this year in an avalanche along with two other Eagle residents, Adam Palmer and Seth Bossung. If ticket holders do not respond by July 31, the funds from their ticket will automatically be donated. Amanda Jessen and the rest of the Bonfire family remain deeply grateful and humbled by this act of support from our Block Party community.
The brewery and its event partner Optimum Events are working to produce alternative live music events under the Bonfire Block Party name to fill the void left by this change. They will make announcements accordingly at a later time, and continue to prioritize public health over good times.
“It appears we are all heading towards a day in the not-so-distant future where we can stand shoulder to shoulder listening to the live music we crave,” says Bonfire Co-Founder Amanda Jessen. “In the interest of putting on the best Bonfire Block Party possible while maintaining safety, we felt it best to postpone for a future date”.

Eagle Valley Restaurants Present Gather ‘Round Week in Celebration and Support of Avalanche Victims from Eagle, Colorado
Cameron Douglas who owns Montauk and El Segundo has organized a county-wide effort for local restaurants to support the families of avalanche victims through Bonfire Brewing beer.
EAGLE, CO— In response to the loss of three of Eagle’s community members in an avalanche in Silverton, Cameron Douglas who owns Montauk and El Segundo, has organized a county-wide effort for local restaurants to support the families of these victims through the liquid that brings us all together: Beer. Gather ‘Round Week, named after the Bonfire Brewing slogan and deep community impact in Eagle and beyond, will launch March 1 and go through March 7.
More than 20 restaurants and counting have committed to donating proceeds from Bonfire Brewing beers sold back to the Bossung, Jessen, and Palmer families during the first week of March. They are listed below and updated daily.
“This effort is about Eagle coming together to support these families who are anchors in our community,” Douglas says of Gather ‘Round Week. Douglas and his wife Heather have lived and worked in the valley for nearly 20 years, and experienced the power of the community to rally around its people. “From bikes to beers to conservation, these are three people who helped make Eagle cool. They’ve always given back, and now it’s our turn to do the same,” he adds.
“After this news broke, Cameron reached out to me with this idea having already gotten restaurants on board. Him taking this initiative shows just how much our community really cares about everyone in it,” says Bonfire’s Mountain Ale Ambassador Doug Fenske. “These restaurants and bars have always shown us an incredible amount of support throughout our 10 years in business, and now more than ever have shown us what it means to gather ‘round.”
Cameron Douglas and his team are managing donations for Gather ‘Round Week. Restaurants interested in participating should contact montaukvail@gmail.com.
To purchase Bonfire Beer to sell at your bar or restaurant, contact Doug Fenske at doug@bonfirebrewing.com or (970) 456-1491.

Bonfire Brewing Statement: February 18, 2021
The Bonfire Brewing team is humbled by the Eagle and Colorado beer communities that have offered support after the loss of Co-Owner Andy Jessen in an avalanche in Silverton.
EAGLE, CO— The Bonfire Brewing team is humbled by the Eagle and Colorado beer communities that have offered support after the loss of Co-Owner Andy Jessen in an avalanche in Silverton. These volunteer and fundraising efforts have helped the brewery maintain operations to continue serving its community during this time of shock and grief.
In response to an outpouring of local support and to supplement unexpected expenses, Bonfire launched this GoFundMe campaign.
In addition to contributing to this GoFundMe campaign, fans and friends of Colorado beer can support the brewery during this time by purchasing Bonfire beer at the tasting room in Eagle, at restaurants, or in liquor stores across Bonfire’s distribution footprint along the I-70 Corridor and across Colorado’s Front Range. They can also purchase merchandise at the brewery or through the online store and send cards to PO Box 5276.
Last week, residents of the town of Eagle honored Andy and fellow adventurers Adam Palmer and Seth Bossung with a gathering at Eagle’s River Park that Bonfire co-sponsored. The Town of Eagle also resurrected the now notorious Christmas penis monument that Andy adamantly crusaded to keep erect in effort to “Keep Eagle Weird” last year.
Bonfire Brewing expresses deep gratitude for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC), San Juan County Search and Rescue, and both the towns of Silverton and Eagle.
“There aren’t enough words to say thank you to Eagle, the Colorado beer community, and beyond,” Amanda Jessen says. “We’re managing this crisis and our grief as best we know how, and deeply appreciate the grace, space, and support.”
Bonfire Brewing is working with the Town of Eagle to livestream a charitable concert and memorial service for Andy, Adam, and Seth on February 28. More details will be announced later this week.
The Bonfire Brewing team and Jessen family do not have additional comments at this time. Please direct all media inquiries to Emily Hutto at coop@radcraftbeer.com.

Bonfire Brewing Expands Capacity; Announces 2020 Milestones
Gather ‘round for Bonfire Brewing’s 2020 Year in Review— beer (slushie) updates, patio + production expansions, and COVID pivots in Eagle, Colorado
Bonfire Brewing owners Andy and Amanda Jessen
EAGLE, CO— Bonfire Brewing is poised for growth going into 2021. The Eagle Valley brewery turned ten in 2020 among several other community milestones. Gather ‘round for Bonfire Brewing’s 2020 Year in Review.
In 2020, Bonfire Brewing produced just under 3500 barrels of beer, equating to more than one million cans. The brewery is wrapping up installation of an expansion in capacity and improvements to existing equipment. These include an upgraded glycol chiller system, the addition of 1600 barrels of fermentation capacity, equipment to facilitate the packaging of barrel aged beers, and the ability to package beer in 16-ounce cans.
Bonfire revamped its draft system that now sports 25 beer lines this year, and added the now famous rotating beer slushies to the menu. Tasting room additions in 2020 also include a partnership with the Roaming Gourmet food truck, and a heated tent the size of a city block for winter to help offset COVID-related capacity restrictions.
Bonfire continued support of local non-profits with product and financial donations, including another record Mug Club auction— which this year, topped $8,500. The mug purchase benefited the Vail Veterans Foundation and Olivia’s Fund.
Bonfire’s patio expansion project is an ongoing one that gained more than 600 square feet of new seating in spring with employee-built Adirondack chairs to boot.
More accolades rolled in for the brewery in 2020, including three Best of Vail awards and medals in the Best of Craft Beer Awards with a gold for WtFO DIPA, and in the “Beer Wars” competition with a Silver for the Rope Drop Hazy IPA. Bonfire is also the proud new recipient of Eagle’s “WassailMeister” title.
Bonfire maintained its Actively Green Business certification, introduced composting to the tasting room, adopted and maintained five miles of the Haymaker mountain bike trail, and continued to make strides in sustainability and efficiency throughout operations this year.
In November of 2020, Bonfire Brewing celebrated a decade of business in downtown Eagle with a week of throwback beer releases, specialty slushies, and an anniversary Quadrupel Brown Ale aged in Laws Whiskey House barrels.
In the wake of Coronavirus, the Bonfire team developed and grew a popular contactless pick-up service and digital ordering system at the tasting room.
Most importantly for Bonfire in 2020, the company retained 100 percent of their employees amid the impacts resulting from the global pandemic. “We fully employed everyone throughout the year by pivoting and adapting to every obstacle thrown our way,” says owner Andy Jessen. “[I]t took years to put this talented team together, and one of our biggest fears at the outset of the pandemic was the chance we might lose that. Being able to keep the team intact is something we’re very grateful for.”
Also in response to the pandemic, Bonfire created the BonFamily t-shirt that features all 16 employees, for which all proceeds directly benefited staff. “We couldn’t have done it without the people that make up the BonFamily, and that includes our customers near and far,” adds owner Amanda Jessen.

In anticipation of this occasion, Bonfire procured Bourbon barrels from Laws Whiskey House, in which they’ve been aging the Quadruple Brown Ale. This 10th anniversary ale pays high gravity homage to Bonfire’s first recipe on the original opening beer board, Demshitz Brown Ale.

“We’re more invested in, and thankful for, our community than ever,” Amanda adds. “Ten years of beer has led to a lot of great conversations, friendships, and lessons. We can’t wait to see what the next ten bring.”

Bonfire Block Party Presents the Funky Times All-Star Band at the Eagle County Fairgrounds
When Bonfire Brewing made the difficult decision to cancel the annual Block Party, they promised to bring some form of live music to the Vail Valley this summer.
EAGLE, CO— When Bonfire Brewing made the difficult decision to cancel the annual Block Party, they promised to bring some form of live music to the Vail Valley this summer. They’ve delivered with back-to-back performances from the Funky Times All-Star Band, a talent-packed group of musicians led by previous Block Party headliner Robert Randolph, on July 17 and 18 at the Eagle County Fairgrounds.
Popular local bands The Runaway Grooms and The Evolution will kick off Friday and Saturday night’s festivities, respectively, followed by Marcus King, Robert Randolph, J.J. Johnson, Nigel Hall, and Duane Betts all sharing the stage.
Tickets for these shows are on sale now and can be purchased on Eventbrite. Only 500 tickets are available for each evening, and are selling rapidly. Ticket holders will then be divided into groups of 125 people, with social distancing inside those groups. Masks are required to enter the venue, and when not in your designated seating area. Ample sanitation stations will be placed throughout the venue, along with two food trucks, and multiple bars.
“We’ve worked for months to pull something involving live outdoor music together, and we’re excited to set a strong example with a professional event that we hope shows that live music can return safely,” says Bonfire Brewing Co-Owner Amanda Jessen. “We all feel the need for something like this, and while it’s not the traditional Block Party with 5,000 people in the streets of Eagle, it’s a start, and it gets some of the struggling folks in this industry back to work.”
Find more information about the shows at bonfireblockparty.com, and contact Emily Hutto at hutto@radcraftbeer.com with media inquiries.

Bonfire Brewing Continues Patio Expansion Project
Bonfire Brewing’s continued patio expansion to increase seating and entertainment space for customers this summer in anticipation of social distancing requirements.
EAGLE, CO— Bonfire Brewing broke even more ground on its continued patio expansion last week to increase seating and entertainment space for customers this summer. Bonfire is working closely with local partners to execute this project during uncertain times.
The new additions to Bonfire’s award-winning patio include fresh concrete complete with sleeves for removable fence posts, adding an additional 500 square feet of safe, level, and licensed outdoor space for customers to enjoy Bonfire beers. Not to mention this upgrade means there will always be a shady spot for refuge from the Colorado sun, no matter the time of day.
Bonfire has always been deeply ingrained in the Eagle community, and this expansion is no exception. The brewery’s landlord manned a Skid-Steer that he owns to help haul concrete and level dirt, and a local contractor offered Bonfire an exceptional price on concrete so they could execute the project as inexpensively as possible. The Town of Eagle might be on a spending freeze in response to COVID-19, however they waived the permit and review fees, and provided technical support to help facilitate the project.
“One of the primary motivations for launching this project is to open up more outdoor customer areas in anticipation of continued distancing requirements, if and when we are permitted to reopen for on-premise service,” says Bonfire Co-Owner Andy Jessen. “It was always part of the original vision for the patio expansion, and now seemed like the perfect time to go for it.”
Without bar hours to staff, Bonfire team members have been working on an array of projects to update the tasting room, this patio work included. While starting the demo work, the team uncovered a small piece of Eagle history— a portion of the original Town of Eagle sidewalk in pristine condition. It sits below the grade of the building pad, likely covered up in the 1960’s or 70’s.
The Bonfire crew also saved the hops in the planter boxes that have been growing on Second Street since the brewery’s first summer of business in 2011, and will replant them in an expanded urban hop farm at the tap room this growing season. They are also rebuilding the planter box for the signature pine tree growing in front of the brewery in downtown Eagle. The Bonfire team also has exciting plans for expanded bike parking, and fun ideas for the first round of furnishings in the new space— stay tuned on their social media channels for updates as the project continues.

Bonfire Block Party Postponed to August
The brewery and its event partner Optimum Events are working to keep the original band lineup and all intended weekend plans intact.
EAGLE, CO– Due to worldwide uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, and to ensure the safety of guests, artists, vendors, and the Eagle County community, Bonfire Brewing and Optimum Events announced today that the 2020 Bonfire Block Party will be postponed to the last weekend in August.
2020 marks the eighth annual Bonfire Block Party, three-time winner of the Best of Vail's Best Summer Festival title. Originally slated for June 12-14 with its most ambitious lineup yet, the new dates for this community event are August 28-30. Eagle, Colorado’s annual Outside Fest that takes place in tandem with Block Party is also postponed to these dates.
A refund process will be available via the Bonfire Block Party website within the next week, for current ticket holders unable to attend the August dates. Tickets purchased for the original June dates will be applied to the new August dates with no further action needed.
The brewery and its event partner Optimum Events are working to keep the original band lineup and all intended weekend plans intact. They will make announcements accordingly at a later time, and continue to prioritize public health over good times as challenging as this reality may be.
“With circumstances far out of our control, we're more grateful to the Town of Eagle, our ticket buyers, the bands, and our partners than ever before,” says Bonfire co-owner Amanda Jessen. “Over the last few weeks, keeping the Bonfire family safe and together has been our top priority, and we’re relieved that that has been possible so far,” Jessen continued. “With the announcement of the postponed dates, we’re excited to all have something to look forward to, and ready to bring our community the best Bonfire Block Party yet, circumstances permitting. Beer in the street may never taste so good,” she concludes.
Live music tours, events, and festivals all over the world have been cancelled or postponed due to the continuing safety concerns as a result of the pandemic. “The music industry, and every business type associated with it, has been absolutely decimated by this crisis,” notes Optimum Events owner Ted Wenninger. “We’re driven to keep the Bonfire Block Party going not only for the community here in Eagle, but also for all the artists, vendors, and staff that have seen their livelihoods disappear.”
A portion of all Bonfire Block Party proceeds benefit Eagle County nonprofit partner, The Cycle Effect. For more information and to purchase tickets online, visit www.bonfireblockparty.com.

Their latest album “Creatures” (2018) received rave reviews and their upcoming full-length recording “Ready Coat” drops on March 6.
The two bands join previously announced Keller Williams’ Grateful Grass as part of the eighth annual Bonfire Block Party musical line up. The full festival lineup will be announced on Friday, Feb. 21. Tickets for the 2020 Block Party are on sale now and include limited Early Bird Two-Day General Admission tickets, regularly priced Two-Day VIP Experience tickets and Bloodies & Bluegrass brunch tickets, which include bottomless Bloody Marys and mimosas.

Bonfire Brewing Releases Good Boy Peanut Butter Porter
The name, “Good Boy,” is a nod to Bonfire’s association with all things dogs, and the common use of peanut butter as a puppy training reward.
EAGLE, CO— Bonfire Brewing canned a new beer from the Community Creator Series last week. Good Boy Peanut Butter Porter is available locally in canned 12 oz. 6-packs this week, followed by state-wide shipments in early January. Following strong positive feedback from its tap room customers, Bonfire plans to produce and package the beer through March 2020.
The base recipe of this new beer was inspired by their popular Tent Pole Vanilla Porter— Bonfire’s brewers upped the chocolate malt and added peanut butter flavoring resulting in a rich and tasty cold-weather treat. The name, “Good Boy,” is a nod to Bonfire’s association with all things dogs, and the common use of peanut butter as a puppy training reward.
Earlier this year, Bonfire launched the Community Creator Series of limited release beers with Après-Cot, followed by Pink-I Raspberry IPA, and GrapepHruit Kettle Sour IPA.
A nitro version of Good Boy will be available at Bonfire in weeks to come.

Bonfire Brewing Continues Community Creator Series with Fall Releases
Look for Gyptoberfest, GrapepHruit, and Sugar Speed in 6 packs of 12 oz. cans soon.
EAGLE, CO— Bonfire Brewing continues their newly introduced Community Creator Series with the planned releases of Gyptoberfest Märzen Lager, GrapepHruit Kettle Sour Grapefruit IPA, and Sugar Speed Caramel Milk Stout. The three beers follow the limited series release of Après-Berry Strawberry Blonde Ale and will be available first at the Bonfire tap room in downtown Eagle, followed by limited availability state-wide as mountain temperatures begin to drop.
Gyptoberfest is brewed annually to help support the town of Gypsum’s Oktoberfest, and has become a local favorite. It’s a traditional Märzen Lager, brewed with German-style Augustiner yeast with a malt forward profile.
GrapepHruit is an American IPA kettle soured with lactobacillus. Generous amounts of Summit, Citra, and Simcoe hops seamlessly intertwine with the juicy Grapefruit puree added near the completion of fermentation.
Sugar Speed is a tasting room favorite originally brewed last fall in honor of the original Bonfire Brew Dog, Sugar. She had one speed, and it was the one that co-founder Andy Jessen walked her at. A little too fast for most, a bit too slow if you took her for a run, but always right there with him.
Sugar Speed is brewed with both caramel malts and roasted barley providing a smooth toffee flavor with a moderate amount of roast to balance the milk stout sweetness of the lactose (milk sugar) added to the boil. A kiss of caramel, vanilla and sea salt are added during secondary fermentation to lend a caramel sweetness on the palate with a slight salt aftertaste.
Fueled by the inspiration of their community and the power of an automated labeler, Bonfire began brewing, packaging and distributing a line of limited-release beers as part of their new Community Creator Series. The series began earlier this year with the releases of Après-Cot Apricot Blonde Ale, Pink-I Raspberry IPA, and Après-Berry Strawberry Blonde Ale.
Following Gyptoberfest, GrapepHruit, and Sugar Speed, Bonfire plans to continue the series with more interesting one-offs, local favorites and perhaps the resurrection of previously discontinued beers.
In addition to the Community Creator Series, Bonfire plans to release the very popular Rope Drop Hazy IPA for its second year with availability in cans and on draft throughout the fall and winter.
Look for Gyptoberfest, GrapepHruit, and Sugar Speed in 6 packs of 12 oz. cans at Bonfire’s tasting room and select local accounts soon, with limited statewide shipments throughout the Fall.

Bonfire Brewing Introduces Community Creator Series
Bonfire Brewing graces Colorado with a spring surprise from the Vail Valley with their new Community Creator Series.
EAGLE, CO— Bonfire Brewing graces Colorado with a spring surprise from the Vail Valley. Fueled by the inspiration of their community and power of a new automated labeler, the brewery began brewing, packaging and distributing a line of new limited-release beers as part of their new Community Creator Series last month.
Bonfire is kicking off the Community Creator series with the limited release of Après-Cot, an Apricot Blonde Ale previously a draft-only offering. Après-Cot is a delicate, smooth American blonde ale brewed with nugget hops, munich and white wheat malts, and real apricot purée to create a balanced and easy drinking beer perfect to throw back at the après of any activity.
Après-Cot is available in 6 packs of 12 oz. cans at Bonfire’s tasting room and select local accounts now, with limited statewide shipments by the end of May and through the summer.
Following the release of Après-Cot, Bonfire Brewing plans to continue the Community Creator series with the release of Pink-I Raspberry IPA, followed in the fall by GrapepHruit Kettle Sour IPA, and the return of the Rope Drop Hazy IPA in 12 oz. for a limited time. More creations are certain to follow.

Bonfire Brewing Celebrates Grand Opening of Eagle River Park
The Eagle Whitewater Park is set to officially open following a ribbon cutting ceremony during Memorial Day Weekend.
EAGLE, CO— Bonfire Brewing is proud to celebrate the opening of Eagle Colorado’s River Park Project. Sponsored in part by Bonfire Brewing, The Eagle Whitewater Park is set to officially open following a ribbon cutting ceremony during Memorial Day Weekend, just days before the Bonfire Block Party, an annual three-day music and street festival put on by the brewery and Optimum Events, in downtown Eagle. Even with Eagle River flows just beginning to rise, whitewater enthusiasts are already surfing the newly installed features, which range from beginner to advanced.
Bonfire Brewing is a Class IV sponsor for the park, and made one of the first private donations to the project that includes four world-class whitewater features and an adjacent park area on the north side of the Eagle River. Bonfire’s contribution supports ongoing work to construct additional amenities and secures the naming rights for the Bonfire Brewing Fire Pit, that will serve as a central hub for the park.
The Eagle River Park is located along the Eagle River near the Eagle County Fair and Rodeo Grounds and a short walk from Bonfire Brewing across the river. The project was one of the first initiatives that Bonfire Brewing Owner & Co-Founder, Andy Jessen worked on as a member of Eagle’s Board of Trustees when he was elected in 2014.
