Seeking “community involvement,” and seeing a good match between two local entities, a popular Greeley-based brewing company is now the official beer of University of Northern Colorado Athletics.

WeldWerks, a 10-year-old craft brewing company at 508 8th Ave., approached UNC earlier this summer about the partnership.

Owner and founder Neil Fisher said the brewing company was looking for ways to become more involved in the local community. Fisher also sees “growth on the horizon” for both Greeley and UNC with academics and athletics.

WeldWerks and UNC then recently announced a three-year sponsorship agreement worth $75,000 in cash and trade.

Fisher mentioned UNC’s proposed college of osteopathic medicine as another effort from the university that can impact a business such as WeldWerks.
