(Press Release) Denver, CO (December 12th, 2022) – Ratio Beerworks and local artist Koko Bayer have teamed up again to re-release their collaboration “LOVE” glass in efforts to raise both funding and awareness for the victims,
survivors, and families of those affected by the Club Q shooting.
Ratio Beerworks will be donating 100% of all net proceeds from the glassware directly to Club Q Victims and
Survivors Compassion Fund, in which 100% of all donations are being given directly to those impacted and
in immediate need. Pre-sale of the glassware begins Sunday, December 11th, 2022 and runs through
