Skinny Dip, New Belgium Brewing\u2019s Summer Seasonal, Returns with a Message: Save the Colorado River<\/strong><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fort Collins \u2013 May, 2010 \u2013<\/strong> Skinny Dip, New Belgium Brewing\u2019s summer seasonal, is making a splash again this year with its great taste and message of water advocacy.\u00a0 This year, Skinny Dip marketing is focused on a river in need that is important to 30 million users and water conservationists everywhere: the Colorado River.<\/p>\n

The summer brew, with only 108 calories in each 12-ounce bottle, is an alternative to traditional \u201clight\u201d beers, with a unique and satisfying flavor. Skinny Dip is a bright blend of kaffir lime and sterling hops that makes the beer a full-bodied, figure-friendly choice for the flavor-minded.<\/div>\n
In 2010, New Belgium partnered with both Jonathan Waterman and the Save the Colorado campaign as part of its water advocacy initiatives.

\u201cSkinny Dip has been an excellent vessel for sharing our passion for water rights and responsibility,\u201d said Bryan Simpson, New Belgium spokesperson.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s become a summer favorite that people rally behind because it\u2019s tied to something we all should support \u2013 our beloved rivers.\u201d<\/div>\n
The Save the Colorado campaign, initiated by New Belgium Brewing and the Clean Water Fund, will donate money to environmental non-profits in the Colorado River basin working to promote water conservation and protect the river.<\/div>\n
