BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gordon Biersch and Rock Bottom Restaurants & Breweries will honor all veterans this Veterans Day by offering a free entrée at any Rock Bottom and Gordon Biersch location in the U.S. Rock Bottom will offer the free entrée on November 11th and Gordon Biersch will offer the free entrée on November 10th and 11th.
In addition to the free entrée, each brewery will be brewing a limited-edition Veterans Day IPA or Pale Ale in honor of veterans in the local communities.

Gordon Biersch will be contributing 10% of its proceeds to the local charity while Rock Bottom will be donating 25 cents from every pint as part of its “Pints with Purpose” Initiative. Operation Homefront, Project Sanctuary, and the VFW are among the charities CraftWorks is supporting for this effort.
To take it a step further, Gordon Biersch will be hosting Tapping Parties on November 8, 2017 and $1 from each beer sold will be donated to the local charity.
