Bottleshare and Woods Boss Brewing Company Release Clarity Through the Haze IPA during CBC 2021
Friday, September 10, will see the release of Clarity Through the Haze when Woods Boss opens at noon; Glenn will be on hand to discuss Bottleshare and the collaboration.
DENVER, CO— One of craft beer’s biggest weeks has arrived, and 2021 Craft Beer Conference (CBC) events are popping up all over Denver.
Woods Boss Brewing Company, located just eight blocks from the Colorado Convention Center, will kick off their festivities on Wednesday, September 8 at 6 pm mountain time. Join Hopsnews, a philanthropic-centered beer podcast, as it hosts an online discussion centered around the Bottleshare and Woods Boss collaboration, Clarity Through the Haze IPA. The podcast can be accessed via Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Twitch.
Christopher Glenn, Bottleshare founder, will join Jordan Fink, Woods Boss co-owner, to discuss the collaboration, the story behind it, and how Bottleshare has harnessed the compassion of the craft beer industry and directed it right back to that industry, raising tens of thousands of dollars for those who need it most.
Glenn created Bottleshare as a way to “pay it forward,” to help those who had once helped him following a life-changing, brain-altering accident. According to the copy on the can itself, Clarity Through the Haze speaks to finding “clarity… of purpose through the clouds of experience.” It’s a beer with tropical notes that mark its New England influence but stands firmly in the clear, clean, slightly piney West Coast IPA territory.
Friday, September 10, will see the release of Clarity Through the Haze when Woods Boss opens at noon; Glenn will be on hand to discuss Bottleshare and the collaboration. Fifty percent of the sales from both drafts and 4-packs of the collaboration will be directed to Bottleshare’s vitally important support fund.

The Lodge at Woods Boss Brewing Company is Open
Enter The Lodge at Woods Boss Brewing in Denver, a space suited for live music, comedy, and a myriad of events.
DENVER, CO— The Lodge at Woods Boss Brewing Company is now open to the public and accepting event bookings.
When their landlord asked if they might possibly be interested in more space, Woods Boss didn’t think twice about turning it down. Owners Chad Moore and Jordan Fink then took a minute and started to imagine a different future for the brewery… one where brewing capacity is doubled, there’s a canning line in house, and additional space to accommodate their growing presence in the community.
Enter The Lodge at Woods Boss, a space suited for live music, comedy, and a myriad of events. It comes equipped with 12 taps under a beautiful a-framed bar, and a sound system and stage. “It’s a huge risk, but a calculated one that makes sense for the brewery and the community around us, because in addition to hosting more private events, we’ll also be able to host more music programming, open mic nights, stand-up comedy, and also offer the space up to local nonprofits.”
The entrance to The Lodge is right around the corner from the brewery at 675 22nd St., and they are open for specific events throughout the week. Be sure to tune in to The Lodge at Woods Boss social media and website for special events, tickets to live music and more. The first Live music show will take place today, June 18, 2021 with Flash Mountain Flood, tickets in advance and at the door are available. Join us for opening night tonight.

“It’s been an incredibly challenging year for the independent food and beverage industry which employs over 11 million people nationwide.” said Kris Moon, Chief Operating Officer of the James Beard Foundation “After the pandemic hit, the Foundation quickly directed all of our resources to helping the industry to survive this crisis. We are only able to continue that work thanks to the generous contributions of partners such as RadCraft. We are incredibly grateful for their support as we work to keep helping the industry remain Open for Good.”
Open for Good programs provide critical resources to help independent restaurants build the capacity to come back stronger, more equitable, more sustainable, and more resilient. Learn more at jamesbeard.org/openforgood and contact JamesBeard@magrinopr.com with media inquiries about the foundation.

LOVELAND, CO— As an advocate and Member Malthouse for the Craft Maltsters Guild’s Craft Malt Certified Seal program, Root Shoot Malting is excited to announce Colorado’s twelve new craft malt certified breweries.
City Star Brewing, Comrade Brewing, Grist Brewing, Iron Mule Brewery, Jagged Mountain Craft Brewery, Joyride Brewing, Launch Pad Brewery, Mockery Brewing, Station 26 Brewing Co., Timnath Beerwerks, Woods Boss Brewing Company, and Guanella Pass Brewing Co. are the newest Member Breweries in the Craft Malt Certified Seal program, which allows brewers and distillers to communicate their use of and support for distinctive, locally produced raw materials.
These breweries have demonstrated their commitment to locally grown and roasted barley by joining this membership program, and they’re proud to do so. “We joined because we buy malt from Root Shoot Malting. It's important to support our local economy and a fellow manufacturer like ourselves,” says David Lin, Chairman & Founder at Comrade Brewing in Denver. “We were impressed with their dedication to quality, along with their malting facility. Root Shoot helps differentiate our beer while meeting the customers’ desire for local products.”

Jordan Fink, Co-Founder and Head Brewer of another Denver brewery, Woods Boss Brewing, is another advocate for the Craft Malt Seal. “We have a deep and abiding commitment to sustainability, community, education, personal relationships and of course, making amazing beer,” he says. “To that effect, we developed a partnership with Root Shoot Malting pretty much right out of the gate and at this point, almost all of our base malt is supplied by them. Given the opportunity to join the Craft Maltsters Guild and be able to showcase our participation through the use of the Seal was a no-brainer for us. It allows us to promote the folks who supply our grain, what they do, and showcase our beer all at the same time.”
Another of the country’s leading maltsters and craft malt membership crusaders, Riverbend Malt in Asheville, North Carolina, has also encouraged 12 breweries to join the Craft Malt Seal. Learn more about the Seal at craftmalting.com.
