On March 10th, Fort Collins Brewery (FCB) will be bringing back Hefeweizen for a 2nd year in a row.

The collaboration between Fort Collins Brewery (FCB) and Renegade Brewing Company came about through a happenstance friendship.

For Wild Goose, cans benefit both the brewing industry and the consumer.
