10th Anniversary Beer Tasting

When: Saturday June 4, 2022. 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Where: UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art (Downtown), Plaza of the Rockies, 121 S. Tejon, Suite 100, 80903
Tickets: Buy your tickets here!

Ten years ago the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA) commissioned artist Eric Steen to launch the first Beers Made By Walking (BMBW) — a program that invites brewers to go on nature hikes and urban walks and make new “place-based beers” inspired by plants from the trail. One June 4, from 2:00pm - 4:00pm, GOCA is bringing BMBW back to Colorado Springs to tap four local beers for a special 10th anniversary beer event at GOCA downtown, Plaza of the Rockies, 121 S. Tejon, Suite 100. Tickets are limited and available for purchase now.

At the end of last summer, brewers from Atrevida Beer Co.,Cerberus Brewing, Goat Patch Brewing, and Local Relic Artisan Ales hiked in Sondermann Park. Led by the Catamount Institute — a non-profit dedicated to developing ecological stewardship through education and adventure — and the Fall Creek Brewshed Alliance, the brewers learned about the edible and medicinal native plants, invasive plants and the local watershed. The four breweries have made beer inspired by what they learned on the hike.

The event will begin at 2:00pm with an artist talk by Eric Steen. Beers will be served following the talk. Tickets are $25 and include limited-edition glassware and pours from each beer. The list of beers include:

Atrevida Beer Co. - American Amber with sunflower seeds, currants and junipers complemented by a medley of Galena, Perle and Northern Brewer hops.
Cerberus Brewing - A vibrant farmhouse ale with red currants and chokecherries aged in a Sherry-finished bourbon barrel.
Goat Patch Brewing - Wheat beer that meshes the bold, earthy flavors and aromas of mullein with the delicate fruitiness and playful pink color of prickly pear cactus.
Local Relic Artisan Ales - Saison aged 8 months in a first use Axe and the Oak bourbon barrel, rested on prickly pear. All malt and hops are Colorado-grown.

We're also hosting a pop up exhibition with a BMBW photography exhibition by Daniel Flanders. The exhibit opens on Friday, June 3 in the same space as the tasting.

2019 San Jose Beers Made By Walking

Beers Made By Walking Tapping
July 14th, 3:00pm-5:00pm
San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles
Entry is free, but tickets are required. Get tickets here.

Calling all South Bay Area craft beer enthusiasts! On Sunday, July 14th, from 3:00pm-5:00pm, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles will tap three place-based craft beers that were inspired by a hike we organized at the Salt Pond Restoration Area in San Jose earlier this year. The beers are part of a collaboration between the museum and Beers Made By Walking, a program that invites brewers to make beer inspired by edible and medicinal plants from nature hikes!

Camino Brewing, Clandestine Brewing, and Uproar Brewing joined us for the hike around the South Bay Salt Ponds where we identified edible native plants, invasive plants, and learned about the importance of the wetlands area. The three breweries are making beer inspired by what they learned on the hike and we will tap the beers at the closing of our H2oh! exhibition. The event is free, but RSVPs are required, so sign up now!

The event will begin at 3:00pm with an artist talk from Beers Made By Walking founder, Eric Steen, about how beer and art can build a sense of place. Brewers from each brewery will also talk about how their beer was inspired by the hike in San Jose. Beers will be served following the talk.

The Beer List:

Camino Brewing - Alviso FrescaInspired by the salt ponds and the salty plants that line the Salt Pond restoration area in Alviso, this is a lightweight Gose-style ale perfect for a sunny walk in the hot weather. The beer is made with cucumber, mint and lime for an extra refreshing character. Gose-style beers are also known for a light tartness and saltiness so we used Pickleweed, which grows near the salt ponds, to give this beer extra salinity. 4.8%

Clandestine Brewing - Don't Call Me DodderOur beer was inspired by the visual aspects of our walk, mostly the bright orange color of the Dodder plant, a parasitic plant that grows attached to other plants and looks like a tangled mess of orange twine. This beer was made with Bravo, El Dorado and an experimental hop. It also has a unique ingredient giving the beer an orange hue: beets! We will also have a side dish of mustard seeds that you can add to the bottom of your glass before filling up. 6.5% ABV

Uproar Brewing - Dead End IPAAn herbaceous IPA with lemons to mimic the Pickleweed plant that we saw and tasted on our the hike. On top of that, we also dry hopped the beer with actual Pickleweed in a firkin! We also used Ekuanot hops, which are known to have a peppery quality, inspired by the peppery mustard plant that grew all around the salt ponds. I named the beer Dead End because I used to live in Alviso and would take 1st Street into Alviso, where it dead ends next to the Salt Ponds. 6.1% ABV

Here are a few photos from our hike:

Info about the July 14 BMBW tapping coming soon

The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles (SJMQT) has teamed up with BMBW and three local breweries for a public hike on May 11th along the area of the South Bay Salt Ponds near San Jose. The hike is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

Hikers will be accompanied by local craft brewers from Camino Brewing, Clandestine Brewing, and Uproar Brewing. After gaining inspiration from the walk, the breweries are tasked with creating new hike-inspired beers that will tap later this summer. These place-based beers serve as drinkable, landscape portraits of the trail.

The hike takes place on May 11th, from 10:00am-12:30pm along the trail of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project at the Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Led by Dave Helsing, the Restoration Project’s executive project manager, hikers and brewers will learn about the largest tidal wetland restoration project on the West Coast and about the native and invasive plants that inhabit the area. The water-based theme of the hike coincides with the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles exhibition H2Oh!, which runs April 20th-July 14th.

For those who aren’t able to attend the hike but want to taste the beers--the beers will be served during a special tapping event at the Museum on July 14th, from 3:00-5:00pm. More information will be available soon. Visit the SJMQT website for updates.

Beer List

Bainbridge Brewing – Bull Kelp Gose – A foraged tribute to Bainbridge Island. Inspired by the island's long Japanese-American history, the beer is based on Japanese dashi stock; a kettle soured Gose brewed with Skagit Valley malt, fresh snorkel-harvested Bull Kelp fronds, and for salt, a big bucket of seawater we collected from the middle of the Sound while out fishing the last day of Chinook season. (And a few little hitchhiking shrimps and kelp crabs may have made the ultimate sacrifice for this beer too.) 4.2% ABV, 15 IBU

Bale Breaker Brewing – Crouching Cougar, Hidden Sagerat IPA – Which hidden masters of flavor are hiding in the hills around Yakima, waiting to teach brave brewers their lessons? To make this beer inspired by an aromatic sage species on the Pratt River Trail, we hand-harvested big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) flowers then paired them with green tea and Palisade hops to highlight the herb's grassy qualities and ginger root and Ahtanum hops to bring out the spicy, floral character. Gracefully walks the line between beer and cocktail with aromas of juniper, ginger, eucalyptus, and hay. 6.8% ABV, 65 IBU

Diamond Knot Brewing - Mediterranean Strawberry Blonde - Diamond Knot’s Blonde Ale, infused with a reduction of the fruit of the Mediterranean Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo). There are several of these lovely trees along the route I often walk from home-to-brewery here in Mukilteo. The delicate sweetness should provide a perfect complement to the character of Diamond Knot’s Blonde. 4.2% ABV; 13 IBU

Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery - Hoppy Itch IPA - Inspired by the ubiquitous nature of both New England IPAs and Nettles in the Pacific Northwest, this beer is a blend of our Polly Porpoise (a hazy pale with Ekuanot, Simcoe, Mosaic and Zythos hops) and a strong batch of nettle tea to create a totally unique and refreshing beer. Conceived of during our hike along the Pratt River Trail and perfected with the help of co-op members. 5.5% ABV, 35 IBU

Flying Lion Brewing – Thimbleberry Stout - A classic American Stout full of chocolate, roasted, and vanilla flavors then aged on the elusive Thimbleberry. The delicate clover-honey flavor of the berries comes through with impressions of peach and strawberry. 6.0% ABV, 37 IBU

Fremont Brewing –Dark Star Imperial Oatmeal Stout, infused with Oak, Hazelnut and Fresh Mint -

Dark Star is a dark, mysterious yet silky oatmeal stout of grand proportions balanced by a firm hop handshake. We’ve infused it with oak, hazelnut and fresh mint, inspired by the natural beauty of the Pratt River Trail. Go ahead, enjoy the journey...Because Beer Journeys Matter! 8.0% ABV, 50 IBU

Hellbent Brewing Company - Backyard Bounty IPA - Hellbent's beer made by walking begins with a base beer of our newest Brut IPA, called Brut Scootin' Boogie. It was then infused with crushed blackberries, fresh hops from our hop trellises, pine needles and spruce tips. It's a light bodied IPA with a fruity hop character, blackberry, and a crisp pine finish. 7.6% ABV, 44 IBU

Lazy Boy Brewing – Belgian Golden Strong Ale - Inspired by our walk along Tiger Mountain. We have infused fresh Juniper berries, lavender, and oak chips. Brewed with traditional Belgian Yeast. 8.1% ABV

Machine House Brewery - Chestnut Chickadee Cedar IPA - Inspired by the small chirps coming from the grand cedars on the Heather Lake Trail this IPA is infused with Spanish Cedar. 6.2% ABV

Mollusk Brewing – Porcini Stout - American style stout brewed with proximities mushrooms. Nutty, earthy and toasty. Hints of coconut, chocolate and forest floor. 6.0% ABV

Naked City Brewery & Taphouse - Brown Ale Infused with thimbleberry leaves and flowers, salmonberry leaves, and western hemlock needles. 5.8% ABV

Rooftop Brewing Company - Inglorious Basker - A sinister cousin of our Glorious Basker - where the Glorious is full of blood orange summer and sunshine, the Inglorious is full of fall blackberry tart. Inglorious Basker is a wheated Bavarian beer, chock full of Blackberries just like the ones you will find on many-a-hike in the PNW. 5.0% ABV, 11 IBU

Date: Saturday, October 27th

2017 Corvallis Beers Made By Walking

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 05:40:00 +0000

Beers Made By Walking Hikes in Corvallis, OR.

Beer Tapping Details Coming Soon

This Spring Greenbelt Land Trust is partnering with Beers Made By Walking and two Corvallis breweries to explore the prairies, forests, and streams of the Willamette Valley, utilizing the fertile Valley soils and abundant flowers, grasses, and herbs as inspiration for the brewing process.

Through two guided walks, the public can visit with local brewers and learn about regional botany. The walks are on May 13th with Sky High Brewing, and May 27th with Mazama Brewing.

Founded in 2011 by Eric Steen, Beers Made By Walking partners a local environmental organization with area brewers to journey out into nature in search of inspiration or ingredients. Brewers are well familiar with the standard menu of ingredients – hops, malt, yeast – but this program broadens the horizon of possible brewing additions, from herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables they might encounter along the trail. Alongside botanists, brewers explore the world at their feet during these walk, using the flora as inspiration for the brewing process. The program has yielded over 100 place-based beers, with some interesting varietals, including the use of ingredient like lemonbalm, sage, fescue, juniper, wheatgrass, and wild ricegrass.

“I hope that this program gives drinkers a sense of place, get people outdoors, do something creative, and think about our local landscapes in new ways. Place is one of the only things we really have to connect with the world. I think beer that echoes that mindset is beautiful, because you can feel an attachment to it in a way that is different than a beer that doesn’t have a sense of place,” says Steen.

“We are always trying to look at the land through different lenses – from history, to art and geology ... and beer! This unique opportunity to walk the land and inspect the plants in our own backyards enables us to think about how nature inspires us all. And, how often does one get the opportunity to go for a walk with their favorite brewer?” says Jessica McDonald, Associate Director with Greenbelt Land Trust.

HIKES:
Saturday, May 13th, 9am-12pmGreenbelt Land Trust walk at Lupine Meadows, with Sky High Brewing

Saturday, May 27th, 9am-12pmGreenbelt Land Trust walk at Owens Farm, with Mazama Brewing

Denver BMBW Preview #2

Mountains to Mountains: From the Rockies to the Appalachians

The second preview for our annual Denver Beers Made By Walking Fest!

Water, or a lack thereof, defines these two ranges. The effect is obvious to the eye. The scraggy and sparse scrub that grows in the Rockies couldn’t contrast more with the lush, burgeoning vegetation that explodes out from Appalachians. You can feel it too. Colorado air goes down like a light and crisp bitter, with a faint floral bouquet. North Carolina’s air is more like an American barleywine: heavy and sweet, carrying with it all the complexity of the myriad of wildflowers and tree varieties that grow there, like so many experimental hops liberally added late in a boil and beyond. And while the next two beers we will preview are not of either of these styles, they do feature an ingredient that is as indicative of their respective climate, carrying with them the essence of their native mountains.

Upslope brewer Alex Meyer smells some Douglas Fir

Upslope Brewing pays homage to the ubiquitous Douglas fir, the defining tree of the Rockies, creating a Beers Made By Walking saison with foraged needles along with orange blossom honey. The brewery was inspired by the coniferous offerings after a walk around the base of the Third Flatiron in Boulder, a stone’s throw away from the brewery. For those who love all things pine and want to find more ways to incorporate this native ingredient into your life (aside from this beer), you can substitute rosemary with fresh pine tips or older needles (food processor or fine chopping recommended if you go this route) in your own kitchen! Not just prized for their essence, fir tips also contain high levels of Vitamin C, so they make for an excellent tea. Steep them in hot water for 15 minutes and strain for an immune-boosting beverage to ward off autumnal colds.

Bushels of sumac

Hailing from Asheville, NC, Burial Beer will also be serving up a saison at Beers Made by Walking. Brewed with foraged sumac from the Appalachian hillsides and locally grown and malted pilsner and rye from Riverbend Malt House, their beer "Triumph of Death" also features Cashmere hops, lemon peel and honey. The crimson drupes, or fruit, of sumac are harvested and ground into a fine powder that lends a wholly unique tartness. It can even be used to make “sumac-ade,” a lemonade substitute. Burial's presence in Denver is a rare occasion and the Denver festival is one of the only places that you will be able to try this phenomenal brewery from NC's unique and incredible offerings in Colorado.

If you can't get enough of their beer as well as TRVE's and Ratio's during the Beers Made By Walking festival at the Museum, they’ll be staging a tap-takeover at the Hi-Dive in Denver on October 5th with TRVE, Ratio and Revolution Brewing to benefit the Keep a Breast Foundation.

OMF & Odd 13 Collaborate, Great Divide Mashes it up with Quinoa

The Colorado sun is setting sooner. Cooler evenings are beckoning for backyard campfires. Harvest and beer festivals seem to be following one after the other in rapid succession, signaling the final crescendo that rings in autumn. Beers Made by Walking is no exception, and in this first preview installment we’ll be giving you a small sample of what locally inspired fare to expect at this year’s festival. But first, a quick plug:

OMF + Odd13's rockstars posing with their peaches

Our Mutual Friend, who generously hosted the Denver’s BMBW festival last year at their RiNo establishment, teamed up with Lafeyette’s Odd 13 to bring you a blended sour ale, refermented on over 500 lbs of Palisade peaches. For the uninitiated, Colorado’s Palisade peaches are bigger, fuzzier and, many would argue, better than Georgia’s or South Carolina’s. And while state pride may play a factor in flavor, there is no doubt that this year’s crop has been fantastic. If you haven’t picked up any Palisade peaches yet, hurry and get your hands on some before this year’s offerings run out. Try out these recipes from CPR featuring Palisade peaches to get yourself ready for this peach bomb of beer!

For those of you who may be more titillated by a hoppier offering, do not fret. Great Divide will be tapping an original IPA that features flaked quinoa, courtesy of Grouse Malting (of Wellington, CO), and juniper berries. The quinoa was inspired after a wild version was spotted on a walk along the Sandy Creek at Bluff Lake Nature Center, which is just a stone’s throw from Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood. Juniper was incorporated following a camping trip near Gross Reservoir (no, really, the water is fine) in Boulder Country. The result? A mixed inspiration beer that involves a local fermentable identified in a nature center within city limits and ever-present juniper berries, combining to contribute to a juicy, lighter bodied and golden IPA, crafted to fall into that crux that lies between summer and fall.

Juniper on the trail

*** UPDATE - The date of the event has been changed to December 01 ***

Calling all locavores and beer lovers: the 2016 Beers Made by Walking event is nearly here! On Thursday, December 1st at 5pm, everyone’s invited to taste five special beers and a cider at The Bier Stein and the Tap & Growler. The fermented beverages will highlight local wild ingredients and reflect the influence of our watershed landscape on the creative minds of our local brewers.

For the second year running, the McKenzie River Trust hosted three summer walks on their protected lands for brewers to gather inspiration for a special beer. This year, The Bier Stein is joining forces with Eugene’s Tap & Growler to present the six fermented beverages brewed for this year's Beers Made by Walking, dividing the beers between each location at 5pm on Thursday, December 1st. The participating businesses are Agrarian Ales, Claim 52, Falling Sky, Oakshire, and WildCraft Ciderworks. Plus, there will be free samples of a homebrewed beer! 100% of the proceeds from each BMBW beer tapped that day will be donated to the McKenzie River Trust, which helps people protect and care for the lands and rivers they cherish in western Oregon. Additional support for the event was provided by Ninkasi Brewing.

The walks took place on Green Island at the confluence of the Willamette and McKenzie rivers; the Hagen family’s Confluence Farm near Monroe; and the Andy Reasoner Wildlife Preserve in the Long Tom River watershed. Though the brewers are not permitted to harvest herbs from the protected properties, the professionally guided walks provide information about native, edible, and medicinal plants. The goal is to create a beer that reflects the land via creative choice of ingredients and/or production method.
Participating breweries are: Agrarian Ales, Claim 52, Falling Sky, Oakshire, WildCraft Ciderworks, with some additional help from Ninkasi Brewing.

The featured beers come directly from a collaboration with the Forest Park Conservancy, which sent experts to lead monthly public hikes with brewers in Forest Park.

A percentage of the beer sales on September 15 will support the Forest Park Conservancy’s work restoring Forest Park. Participating breweries include: Base Camp Brewing, Breakside Brewing, Burnside Brewing, Hopworks Urban Brewery, and Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider.

BMBW Corvallis Tapping
September 07 /// 6pm
Mazama Brewing /// 33930 SE Eastgate Circle, Corvallis, OR

BMBW announces the first ever Corvallis-focused BMBW beer tapping event featuring 4 beers/mead that were inspired by natural areas in the Corvallis area. The event takes place on September 7th, beginning at 6pm, at Mazama Brewing in Corvallis and is part of Corvallis Beer Week.

The hike-inspired beers and mead come directly from a collaboration with the Greenbelt Land Trust, which sent botanists to lead public, summer hikes with brewers on two conservation areas in the mid-Willamette Valley. Brewers and participants learned about private land conservation and water resources in the area, in addition to native and invasive plants. The brewers have been challenged to create a brew that represents the trails they walked.

In past years the BMBW the program has yielded over 100 place-based beers, with interesting varietals, including the use of ingredients like lemonbalm, sage, fescue, juniper, wheatgrass, and wild ricegrass. The beers for the September 7th tapping will be revealed as the date gets closer.

Each brewery is donating their unique beer and mead for this event. The proceeds will support the Greenbelt Land Trust’s work to help people protect and steward the land, river, and trails that we all enjoy here in the mid-Valley.

“I hope that this program gives drinkers a sense of place, get people outdoors, do something creative, and think about our local landscapes in new ways. Place is one of the only things we really have to connect with the world. I think beer that echoes that mindset is beautiful, because you can feel an attachment to it in a way that is different than a beer that doesn’t have a sense of place,” says Eric Steen, founder of Beers Made By Walking.

Participating breweries and meadery include: Flat Tail Brewing, Mazama Brewing, Nectar Creek Mead, Sky High Brewing.

Changes to BMBW in 2016

noreply@blogger.com (Eric) — Sun, 15 May 2016 21:29:00 +0000

2016 marks a big transition for Beers Made By Walking. We are handing over much of the control of BMBW to the fantastic organizations that we have partnered with each year.

In the past couple years BMBW has raised over $20,000 for environmental non-profits that protect wilderness areas and waterways, maintain important regional trails, and educate our communities on the importance of the natural world. Historically the BMBW team has worked to connect breweries with local environmental organizations. Over time we wondered if the organizations might appreciate having greater independence in creating BMBW events. The new change allows organizations to have a stronger and more direct connection to each brewery and was welcomed by many of our collaborative partners.

We’re still involved in the process, we just get to see how each region grows their program according to their own needs. We’re also always looking for ways to expand the BMBW program into new territories.

We are still organizing an annual festival during the week of GABF in Denver. Here is a list of the locations where BMBW will take place this year. Stay tuned for additional details:

Our Mutual Friend Crafts Cross-Country Beers Made By Walking Collaboration

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 14 Mar 2016 14:46:00 +0000

Our Mutual Friend Brewing Company, who assisted in coordinating and hosting the Denver Beers Made By Walking festival in 2015, will be releasing a Beers Made By Walking cross-country collaboration beer for Collaboration Fest in conjunction with Fullsteam Brewery (Durham, NC), Scratch Brewing Company (Ava, IL) and Hopworks Urban Brewery (Portland, OR). Beers Made By Walking invites brewers to create place-based beers inspired by native plants identified on trails and all four breweries involved in this project have taken part in its programming and creative process. These four breweries are some of the most innovative and place-based epicenters of local culture in the brewing scene across the entire country.

rose hips rest on one of the four barrels used for this project

This particular beer, named Golden Fang, is a barrel-fermented sour golden ale with persimmons, bittering roots, rose hips and all Colorado base ingredients. The inspiration for this beer came from the idea to connect all four continental US time zones into a single undertaking. The persimmons are from North Carolina (Fullsteam), the Rose Hips from Oregon (Hopworks) and the bittering roots from Illinois (Scratch). The interplay of these ingredients and the sour yeast provides a stone fruit forward flavor and tart finish, balanced by the tannic acidity of the bittering roots and tea-like bitterness from the rose hips.

Fullsteam Brewery has developed a community foraging program in Durham, offering market price for persimmons to patrons of the brewery. The end product has resulted in a foraging community and the beer First Frost, a persimmon winter ale, among various other beers with foraged ingredients. Scratch Brewing Company has been featured in national magazines in regards to its expansive foraging program, as the brewery is located on a farm that yields a plethora of wonderful ingredients to use in beers. Notably, this brewery brought five different “single tree” beers to Great American Beer Festival in 2015, crafting different beers based on ingredients from different types of arboreal products.

Hopworks Urban Brewery recently became the first B Corporation brewery in the Pacific Northwest as well as the first Salmon-Safe Certified brewing site in the world. It also happens to be the largest contributor to BMBW in the PNW. Our Mutual Friend recently garnered national attention by earning a silver medal in the wood and barrel aged sour beer category at GABF in 2015 and has striven to cultivate local practices by brewing all Colorado ingredient beers as well as other innovative offerings.

Golden Fang will be released at Collaboration Fest on March 19th at Sports Authority Field at Mile High along with more than 85 other collaborative projects and will subsequently be available on tap at Our Mutual Friend’s Tap Room starting Thursday, March 24th.
