The Wyoming Weed and Pest Council (W.W.P.C.) and the Wyoming Craft Brewers Guild are excited to partner again to help inform the public about invasive weeds and pests.
During the third annual Wyoming Craft Beer Week from June 10 – June 17, participating breweries will release a West Coast IPA collaboration brew, with each brewery putting its unique spin on the base recipe.
Additionally, a limited-edition pint glass featuring Devil’s Tower will be available. The purchase of this glass supports W.W.P.C.’s work to keep Wyoming wild and beautiful.
Beer and outdoor enthusiasts can find the IPA brew and glass in participating taprooms starting Tuesday, June 13.
The Wyoming Craft Brewers Guild is a non-profit corporation founded in 2014 that primarily aims to support and connect the Wyoming craft beer community through advocacy, education, and promotion. The Wyoming Craft Brewers Guild members are dedicated to education, public awareness, and support for their products, profession, and history while documenting their economic impact and legal responsibilities throughout Wyoming.
Wyoming Craft Brewers Guild and its members are committed to actively supporting and interacting within their communities as permissible under Wyoming law.
“Protecting and preserving the natural resources in Wyoming is crucial to our breweries, as those resources help us with our craft,” said Michelle Forster, executive director of Wyoming Craft Brewers Guild. “We continue partnering with the Wyoming Weed and Pest Council to raise awareness of the impact invasive species can have in our beautiful state.”
Agricultural products like barley, wheat, rye, oats, and hops rely heavily on invasive species management to create a product worthy of Wyoming brew kettles. But it isn’t just about controlling weeds in barley fields. Invasive weeds and pests can threaten Wyoming’s economy, food supply, native habitats, diverse ecosystems, and, in some cases, public health.
W.W.P.C. is committed to stopping the spread of invasive species through awareness, education, and community engagement.
