Denver, CO – January 27, 2012 – Breckenridge Brewery has collaborated with Kyle Hollingsworth to brew a small batch American-style Dark Wheat exclusively for Hollingsworth's “BrewSki Tour.” Hollingsworth, keyboardist for String Cheese Incident and avid brewer, takes his passions to ski towns in Colorado in March, touring with Kyle Hollingsworth Band and featuring the beer that he developed in partnership with the brewing staff at Breckenridge Brewery.
Because Kyle and Coloradans love craft beer, one keg of the collaboration brew will be available for FREE for the first hour at all shows, while supplies last, courtesy of Breckenridge Brewery.
Each night will kick off with the “high intensity global dance music” of Fort Collins' Eufórquestra.

About Kyle Hollingsworth
Thirty years ago, Kyle Hollingsworth set out on a career in music. Since then, with a wealth of desire and incredible ability, Hollingsworth has established himself as a formidable and versatile music talent. Today, as a member of acclaimed jam masters The String Cheese Incident, Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop. Playing in SCI has allowed him unrestricted access to the world of music, and has bestowed on him the kind of fearlessness a composer needs to flirt with such disparate genres. Those who’ve seen SCI know the band can move from funk to bluegrass on a chord change. “In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we’re not afraid to move in and out of genres,” he says, “and because of that I’ve learned to be creative, not only on stage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to.”
Hollingsworth’s 2009 release, titled Then There’s Now, finds the musician coming in to his own. With solid song material and a slamming new band, Kyle is making his mark in the new, always-evolving music scene. Then There’s Now delivers a blend of vocal and instrumental tunes and seamlessly displays his growth as a musician and as a songwriter.
