Anheuser-Busch and Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity invite the public to join them in raising a mug on Thursday, July 9, 2015 for the 3rd Annual Hammer ‘n’ Ale event. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and will take place at the newly renovated Biergarten at Anheuser-Busch located at 2351 Busch Drive, Fort Collins. Tickets are $40 per person or $75 per couple. The exclusive VIP party preceding the event at 5:00 p.m. is $100 per person. Tickets are limited and can be purchased at www.fortcollinshabitat.org.
