April is shaping up to be a great month to celebrate Earth Day with all sorts of events and actions to take to support Oregon’s wildlands, wildlife, and waters - plus you might be getting in some final turns on the mountain or getting your garden started (depending on your priorities!). All that activity might have you wishing for a tasty beverage to relax with - preferably one that has environmental benefits. That’s where Oregon Brewshed® Alliance partners are stepping up to help!
This month, we’re excited that we’ve launched this new Brewshed® Alliance website , but even better, several brewery partners are hosting fundraising events and releasing special benefit brews for Earth Day. We hope you can join us, bring a friend for happy hour, and stock up on great beer and cider - all to support Oregon Wild’s work to protect our wild landscapes and waterways!
