Every ticket you buy is a round for veterans.

Peaks & Pours is Colorado Springs' annual whiskey and spirits festival, and every dollar raised goes directly to benefit the programs and services of Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center — providing transitional services, mental health support, employment assistance, housing navigation, and community programs for veterans and their families across El Paso County.

Since our inaugural event in 2023, Peaks & Pours has raised over $16,000 for veteran services in Colorado Springs. $1,000 in year one. $7,000 in year two. $8,000 in year three. Every year we grow, and every year more veterans are served.

In 2026 we're setting our biggest goal yet — $10,000 — and we need your help to get there.

Josh Dinkins and Peaks & Pours are proud to support our contact Bob McLaughlin of Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center in filling critical gaps in veteran support, providing wraparound services in a welcoming, non-bureaucratic environment.

Buy your tickets. Bring a friend. Show up on August 22 at Meanwhile Block and raise a glass for the people who raised their hand first.
