Historic Preservation: It's Really Not a Scary Word!

On Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 5:30pm, local brewers will share their brewing history and philosophy, discuss their involvement in the community, and explore how collaborative promotions—such as the Great Rail Ale fundraiser—create a win-win for both local businesses and citizens. The discussion will also highlight why they chose to establish their breweries in historic buildings and the benefits of repurposing these spaces for new uses. After this panel discussion, stick around to sample tasters from each brewery (for those over 21).

Free to attend, donations will support the Loveland Historical Society/Save the Great Western Depot Committee.
