GREAT BEER STARTS WITH CLEAN WATER!
Last week, Oregon Wild released a comprehensive report analyzing the significant positive impact the River Democracy Act would have on drinking water sources for communities across Oregon. This report highlights the potential role the River Democracy Act could play in safeguarding Oregon's pristine rivers and watersheds, which are vital to the well-being of its residents and the state's economy.
We ran the numbers, and over 1.3 million Oregonians in communities all across the state stand to have their drinking water better protected with the passage of the River Democracy Act. Read the report here and take action to protect drinking water sources for over a million people in Bend, Eugene, Medford, Clackamas County, and beyond!
“At Falling Sky, we believe in the importance of protecting our local rivers and tributary streams. Access to consistent and safe drinking waters is vital for our communities, and it also helps create better-quality beer. Water is a resource worth protecting, not only for today but our future too!” - Stephen Such, owner Falling Sky Brewing in Eugene

BREWSHED® BREWS IN THE WILD!
Oregon Brewshed® Alliance partner Grand Fir Brewing in Portland is celebrating their one-year anniversary this weekend! So head over to Grand Fir for SLUG FEST and cheers to the first of many great years!
The team at Grand Fir loves old-growth forests so much, it's literally spelled out on their walls! Their Lichen IPA is one of several beers paying homage to the complexity of our forests. At home in its natural habitat among a bunch of lichen at the Oregon Wild staff retreat along the North Santiam River earlier this year, this delicious IPA hit the spot perfectly and made us feel one with the forest!
LAST CALL FOR FLY-FISHING COLLABORATION!
Steve Such, owner of Falling Sky Brewing in Eugene, is spearheading a collaboration between Oregon Brewshed® Alliance partners to highlight and advocate for Oregon’s finest trout fisheries.
This collaboration will work closely with Oregon Wild on education, advocacy, and promotional materials in order to spread the word (which will involve lots of time spent drinking beer and casting lines on the rivers we are working to protect!).
Interested breweries can reach out to Steve at Falling Sky or Sami at Oregon Wild.
