All you beer lovers that also want to support wilderness rescue should kill two birds with one stone and tilt a pint of El Rancho’s Gone Astray IPA (Red IPA 6.0% ABV). For every pint of the specially brewed beer, $1 goes to Evergreen based All-Volunteer Alpine Rescue Team who are a group of highly trained non-paid professional rescue-mountaineers that have been dedicated to saving lives through search, rescue and mountain safety education since 1959. Cheers!
