Keep the ALE in Talent: SAVE ART BOP

I'm obsessed with "community spaces" and I believe these are what make the world a better place. I decided to support Kimber & Dave by putting a crowdfunding campaign together for their long overdue brewery, art gallery, and garden expansion because I believe in their community space. Have you seen the humble setup they make beer for us with? Did you know their hours are limited because they can't (legally) brew and be open at the same time? Well I didn't either. These guys work their butts off and we'd be none the wiser because of the amazing spirit they give to us night after night alongside their delicious fresh local beer.

Not to mention the non-profits they support through creative fundraising like crafting their merch at Talent Maker City so they can support them, and non-profit donations from Talent Strong Ale sales.

It's easy for me to get behind Art Bop Beer Co. because I am experiencing their vision come to life. I love going to their beer garden, enjoying a bebop brown, and soaking up the inspiration that is ABBC.

Kimber & Dave give so much to our community; not only in good times and fresh beer, but also through their non-profit support efforts. We now have an opportunity to give back to them, to help their dreams continue to blossom so they can continue brewing in Talent.

Will you join me in helping save Art Bop?

Thank you,

Nicole Knutson

A Message from Dave & Kimber

"We are grateful to the community for encouraging us to reach for our dreams of continuing Art Bop at 102 Talent Avenue. Every little bit helps, from drinking beer and buying merchandise while we are still operational to donating 50 dollars or more for the revitalization of Art Bop after the unfortunate loss of our current location. It is because of your support that we are able to keep the positivity and the energy to help the city of Talent thrive. All small towns deserve to have a small brewery/art hub and we are honored to be of service to you."
