Fort Collins, Colo. – FCB (Fort Collins Brewery) is excited to release its
winter warmer, Big Shot, a hazelnut brown ale in collaboration with a month-long coat drive benefiting One Warm Coat and Fort Collins-based nonprofit,
Homeless Gear.
Throughout the month of November, FCB is working with One Warm Coat
to collect clean, gently used warm coats at FCB Modern Tavern. The donated
coats will be given to Homeless Gear for distribution to local children and
adults in need.
All FCB customers who donate coats will receive a pint of Big Shot, which
can be redeemed at FCB Modern Tavern upon donation.
A wonderful winter warmer, Big Shot is full of hazelnut aromas and flavors
that meld right into a blend of five toasted malts. The caramel and honey
backbone create a very drinkable hazelnut brew. Big Shot is available to FCB’s
distribution footprint through the winter season in 6-packs and on draft.
6% ABV | 38 IBU | 13 SRM.
“With the release of our favorite winter warmer brew comes the
opportunity to help warm those in need and we’re excited to partner with two
organizations that make that their mission day in and day out,” said Kelly
Garrity, FCB’s National Sales & Outreach Coordinator.
FCB has teamed up with select distributors in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and Pennsylvania to also host coat drives within their states.

Customers that do not have a coat to donate or live outside the

“For more than 20 years we have been working to provide a warm coat to
anyone who needs one. We are so thankful for our many coat drive
ambassadors, like Fort Collins Brewery, who volunteer their time, resources
and energy to help their neighbors in need. Together, we can reach our goal of
warming one million people each winter, one community at a time!”
commented Jennifer Stockard, President and Chief Executive Officer of One
Warm Coat.
One Warm Coat is a national non-profit organization that works to provide a
free, warm coat to any person in need. One Warm Coat supports individuals,
groups, companies and organizations across the country by providing the tools
and resources needed to hold a successful coat drive. Coats are distributed in
the communities where they were collected, to children and adults in need,
without charge, discrimination or obligation. Since One Warm Coat’s inception
in 1992, they have worked with their volunteers to give away more than 4
million coats and spread awareness about the need for warm coats.
