Nanci Marr · Marketing & Communications Specialist 303.688.7642 · [email protected] 9292 Ridgeline Blvd. · Highlands Ranch, CO 80129 For immediate release August 21, 2014: Douglas County Libraries launches the Great Douglas County Beer Tour in September In September, Douglas County Libraries (DCL) will partner with craft breweries in Douglas County on the Great Douglas County Beer Tour, inviting people to enjoy the products and hospitality of local businesses, and to experience their public libraries in a new way. Joining the beer tour is free, requires only a visit to each participating brewery, and entitles the holder of a completed beer tour passport to a commemorative beer glass courtesy of DCL. Brewery visitors will enjoy locally brewed craft beers, plus book recommendations based on attributes of their favorite beer styles. “It’s a fun way to draw parallels between books and libraries and the other things we enjoy in our everyday lives,” said Kerri Morgan, program and events supervisor for Douglas County Libraries. “For example, a bittersweet Pale from Living the Dream Brewing might pair well with ‘Shotgun Love Songs,’ Nickolas Butler’s bittersweet story of going home again.” Four participating breweries will also create special, limited-edition brews to be tapped in September specifically for the library beer tour, including an Irish Red from Elk Mountain Brewing Company. Library patrons will have the opportunity to name these four brews, winning prizes and adulation in the process. The Great Douglas County Beer Tour is just one of Douglas County Libraries’ contributions to Outside the Lines, a Colorado library led initiative to reintroduce libraries to their communities. More than 125 libraries across the U.S. and Canada are participating in Outside the Lines during September, hosting events intended to get people thinking and talking about libraries in a new way. --more-- “Today’s libraries are dynamic, exciting centers for engagement, and are more relevant than ever before,” said Amber DeBerry, associate director of community relations for Douglas County Libraries. “Outside the Lines and the Great DC Beer Tour celebrate libraries’ spirit of creativity and innovation.” Great Douglas County Beer Tour passports are available at www.douglascountylibraries.org/outside-the-lines.
