Colorado: Jefferson County Public Library Partners with Local Breweries For “Stouts and Stories, Ales and Tales” Special Event

From The Denver Post:

Your local public library offers a lot more than books these days, and Jefferson County Public Libraries is partnering with nearly 20 area breweries to prove it.
Stouts & Stories, Ales & Tales, a free program, kicked off Sunday and continues through Nov. 15. It aims to entice Jeffco residents to get to know their local library. The lure? Discounted brews, contests and activities, like learning to etch pint glasses and listening to local brewers discuss their work.
