DENVER — So maybe raising $1 billion to buy a Major League Baseball team was too lofty a goal for a local brewery.
But that's exactly what Denver Beer Co. set out to do when they launched an effort at the beginning of the season to raise enough money to make a serious bid to buy the Colorado Rockies.
Responding to fan frustration over the direction of the franchise in recent years, the craft brewery invited Rockies fans to contribute to the cause through a GoFundMe page.
