Six packs of Steamworks' award-winning Colorado Kölsch available Aug. 1
 
As of Aug. 1, 2008, fans of Steamworks Brewing Co.'s Colorado Kölsch will be able to pick up 12-oz. bottle six-packs of the brew at retail establishments throughout Colorado.
 
A multi-award winning beer - including a Silver at the 2007 Great American Bear Festival, Steamworks' Colorado Kölsch is a derivative of the German Kölschs, which were created in response to the popular lager-based Pilsners being produced in the Czech Republic in the 1840s. Steamworks' variety is a light, refreshing and crisp ale with a hint of sweetness. Head brewer Ken Martin is lauded for perfecting the recipe and providing a consistently quality product.

In an effort to advance Colorado's New Energy Economy, La Plata Electric Association (LPEA) has been approved for a $25,000 matching grant as part of the Governor's Energy Office (GEO) Residential Solar Program. Funds will provide rebates for those installing solar domestic hot water systems within LPEA's service territory.
 
"The Solar Domestic Hot Water Rebate," as it has been christened, will be a one-time rebate, and range between $1,500 and $3,000 depending on the size of the system. The rebate is designed to supplement an electric hot water system in customers' permanent, year-round homes and is not retroactive.
 
LPEA will provide the $25,000 match for the grant and applications will be accepted after the 30-day notification period, Aug. 16, 2008. Learn more at www.lpea.coop.
