Beer & Beyond: Exploring Water & Fire at Berthoud Brewing Company
August 18, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join the Big Thompson Watershed Coalition at Berthoud Brewing Company on Sunday, August 18th, from 4-7 PM to enjoy some local beer and learn about water conservation and wildfire mitigation! The event will feature three components:
1. Brewery Tours: Discover the brewing process and learn about Berthoud Brewing Company’s water conservation practices. Tour 1 will be offered at 4:30pm and tour 2 will be offered at 6:15pm.
2. Film Screening: Be among the first in Loveland to see Evan Barrientos’ Fireforest film. This short film highlights two wildfire mitigation projects and the benefits they provided during the Cameron Peak Fire. These stories showcase the importance of treating our forests through the use of thinning and prescribed fire. Through these projects we can better understand that the right kind of fire is an essential part of the solution to megafires, that fire is a natural part of Colorado’s forests, and that forests have a natural ability to recover from it. It also emphasizes that severe fires do threaten our forests and the time for large scale forest and watershed restoration is now.
3. Panel Discussion: Following the film, join a panel of experts to discuss the critical role of wildfire mitigation and recovery in safeguarding our limited water resources in Northern Colorado and the Big Thompson Watershed. The discussion will highlight the connectivity between upstream watershed health and downstream water resources.
