Celebrate the connection between healthy forests and great beer with YVSC, The Nature Conservancy and Mountain Tap Brewery! ReTree Spruce IPA, brewed to celebrate YVSC’s ReTree tree-planting program, will tap up at 11:30 a.m. The fun grows as the evening progresses, with TNC hosting an OktoberForest trivia game from 6 to 8 p.m., complete with beer and tree themed trivia questions.
The ReTree Spruce IPA was conditioned with Colorado-grown spruce tips resulting in its robust piney flavor and aroma, reminiscent of being in a forest. The spruce tips, literally tips of spruce tree branches, were responsibly wild harvested in the Southern Colorado San Juan mountains and impart slight mint, pine, melon and citrus notes.
Admission is free, and Mountain Tap will donate $1 for every ReTree Spruce IPA sold to YVSC.
OktoberForest is The Nature Conservancy’s annual event held in various locations across Colorado. It serves to raise awareness for the important role forests play in providing clean water and raises awareness for The Nature Conservancy in Colorado’s work on forest restoration and watershed health. OktoberForest highlights the connection between trees, water and beer. Approximately 40% of the world’s usable water comes from forests, and beer is 95% water, so forest restoration is an important topic within the brewing industry.
This year’s 16th annual ReTree program will take place over three weekends this fall, starting on Saturday, Sept. 27, then continuing on Sunday, Oct. 5 and Saturday, Oct. 11. Over the years, YVSC’s ReTree events have planted more than 25,000 trees. Volunteers of all ages are invited to sign up for ReTree by visiting yvsc.org/yvsc-events/.
