Tonight: Your beer money benefits Community Food Share at Pizzeria Basta

At Pizzeria Basta tonight, your beer money goes to charity

The alcohol will take the edge off your guilt, and so will the fact that your beer money's going straight to Community Food Share, a food bank that serves Boulder and Broomfield counties.

"Hoppy Face donated two kegs of beer for a party," says co-owner Alan Henkin. "So we're hosting Hoppy Holidays Bluegrass Charity Jam."

Which will feature bluegrass, as the name suggests. Specifically, Coleman Square and Red Vanryders, which will roll in around 6 p.m. to play together. And while that's going on, Basta will pour Hoppy Face amber ale for a suggested donation price (though what you want to fork over is entirely up to you). Everything the pizzeria collects for the beer will go right to the food banks -- so drink up, and pay up.

Throughout the party, which runs from 6 to 9 p.m., Pizzeria Basta will also be serving its regular menu. For more information, call 303-997-8775.
