According to Hog Haven, the organization gets far more calls (an average of four a week) from people who didn't know what they were getting into when they acquired a pet pig than they do from people who want to adopt. As a result, the farm is home to about fifty animals, a few of which are commercial hogs saved from the slaughterhouse, but most are miniature pot-bellied pigs.
Hog Haven provides information about the intelligent and social nature of the pigs both at the farm and at events like this around the Front Range. Resolute's mission, other than to serve craft beer, is to support community organizations by providing space for special events and meetings — making yesterday's pig parade the perfect opportunity to root for the underdog. Make that underpig.

Hog Haven's pigs enjoy spent grains from Resolute Brewing, but they didn't get to try the beer.
