Beer And Brats In Superior Tomorrow

A fundraiser for the Whole Planet Foundation, the Whole Foods store in Superior will host a beer and brats event tomorrow from 3 to 6 pm.  Boulder's own Avery Brewing will be supplying the beer, and there are multiple ways you can concoct your donation (anyone opting for the brat with two beers followed by the additional beer option had better have a designated driver!).  They ask for advance notice, so I'm a little late with this, but there's an email address below to let them know if you're coming.  Here are the details from them.
