Brendan Balmes has an internship at Crabtree Brewing Company through the University of Northern Colorado s Go On And Learn (GOAL) program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Two of his main responsibilities were filtering beer and running the keg washing machine. Balmes will soon graduate and hopes to find a job at a brewery.
On a recent Friday afternoon in Greeley, Brendan Balmes stops by Crabtree Brewing Company for a beer and to say hello to his boss, Jeff Crabtree. The 28-year-old works here as an intern, but the pandemic has put things on hold for now.
