ACBF Beneficiaries
The All Colorado Beer Festival is a 501(c)(3) corporation registered in Colorado. The organization was established in 2007 to operate beer festivals with the express purpose of raising funds for Colorado Springs area nonprofits. To date, through ticket sales and our entirely volunteer staff, the ACBF has generated $120,000 for our beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries for the 2012 All Colorado Beer Festival were:
THEATREWORKS
THEATREWORKS is the region’s premiere professional theatre located on the campus of the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. It was founded in 1975 as a central outreach program of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. THEATERWORKS is a professional, regional theater dedicated to creating challenging and innovative productions of classic and contemporary theatre for the enjoyment, education and stimulation of our community, including the Pikes Peak Region, the University of Colorado, and, on occasion the larger world.

Empty Stocking Fund
The Empty Stocking Fund is an annual holiday fundraising campaign that supports 14 Pikes Peak Area health and human service agencies that help people in crisis and assist others in attaining self-sufficiency. Established more than 20 years ago by Colorado Springs’ local newspaper, The Gazette, the Fund has provided nearly $7.3 million in grant support. The Gazette partners with the El Pomar and Bruni Foundations to match contributions made by the community. Every dollar a donor gives grows up to 63 percent through these matches. The Gazette and El Pomar share all administrative expenses so 100 percent of funds raised goes toward helping those in need.

THFC delivers assistance through a close collaboration with the Army Community Service at Fort Carson and the Family Support Centers at the United States Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, and Schriever Air Force Base.

2012 ACBF Brewers
A huge thank you to all our 2012 ACBF brewers. We wouldn’t have a festival without you.
ACBF Nuptuals
It seems that the All Colorado Beer Festival is at the heart of a recent wedding. Some years ago Diana and Weston didn’t know each other, but they both liked beer and attended the ACBF. A tasting cup hit the floor between them. As they both bent to pick it up, they introduced themselves and one thing led to another. Last year they celebrated their engagement at the festival and this year they celebrated their wedding from this past June. We all know that Colorado beer is the best in the country. Now we can assure everyone that the beer may change their future.
