To kick off 2018, The Chamber’s Defense Council hosted a Social at Launchpad Brewery, an Airforce veteran-owned brewery at 884 S. Buckley Rd., Aurora, CO 80017.

The brewery sponsored drinks and Jim ‘N Nicks Barb-B-Q sponsored food for the event. More than 50 people attended the social, including senior military and civilian leaders from various units on Buckley, and community/business leaders from the Eastern Metro area.
