The Global Biodiversity Center is hosting its 2nd annual ‘Biodiversity, Bluegrass, and Brews’ event on September 26, 2019 from 5-8pm on the back patio of Avogadro’s Number. This event is a way to create further awareness across the Colorado State University and Fort Collins communities of the efforts of the GBC and the work that CSU conservation scientists are conducting around the globe, while also bringing to light important conservation issues. Entry into the event is $20 (cash only!) and will allow attendees a chance to enjoy the get out of your seat and dance, local bluegrass music from House with a Yard (http://www.hwaymusic.com/), while sipping on three limited time only brews from a keepsake commemorative tulip glass. This year, the GBC is teaming up with Intersect, Maxline, and Horse & Dragon Breweries to create three conservation-themed brews inspired by threatened public lands. The brews will honor: 1. Rose Atoll Marine National Monument with a tropical gose called ‘Motu o Manu’ 2. Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with a pale ale named ‘Blue Boundary’, made with locally sourced fruit and wild rice; and 3. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with an alder-smoked blueberry pilsner made with lingonberry. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the mission of the GBC.
