Beer Not Water

Beer Not Water Beer Not Water is our name, increasing water conservation awareness is our game!

Beer Not Water is a community outreach program showcasing the collaborative efforts of the environmental and microbrewery communities in Colorado to conserve water and increase water conservation awareness in fun and creative ways. Working through educational materials and events, the Colorado Environmental Coalition, Colorado Trout Unlimited, the Colorado Brewers Guild, as well as participating

microbreweries across the state are educating the Colorado microbrewery community on relevant water conservation issues in fun and creative ways. Because the microbrew process is water intensive, Beer Not Water focuses largely on ways by which microbreweries are currently maximizing their conservation potential, are offsetting their consumption of water, or are making plans to do so. More info on how you can get involved with Beer Not Water's fun is on the way, so stay tuned!

New Belgium Brewing and others are doing a whole lot to keep their beer from tasting like ash after the High Park Fire. Cheers to that!

Think of the High Park Fire restoration efforts in terms of beer. Runoff from the burn area is likely to alter the flavor of tap water taken from the Poudre River, and the beer brewing process isn't able to filter those flavors out of your Fat Tire.
