CASPER, Wyo.— Casper breweries are partnering with the Wyoming Weed and Pest Council to offer a limited edition pint glass during Wyoming Craft Beer Week.
The third annual week-long celebration of craft beer runs from June 10 through June 17, during which time participating breweries will release a West Coast IPA collaboration brew, with each brewery putting its own unique spin on the base recipe, a news release said.
The limited edition pint glass, featuring Devil’s Tower, and the IPA brew were released Tuesday, June 13, and will be available in Casper at Gruner Brothers Brewing, Frontier Brewing Co., and Black Tooth Brewing Co., according to the release. Proceeds from the sale of the glasses will support Wyoming Weed and Pest Control’s invasive species control.
“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, the release states. Invasive weeds and pests can threaten Wyoming’s economy, food supply, native habitats, diverse ecosystems, and, in some cases, public health.
