We strive to bring awareness to the uncertain future of our state’s water through a common pastime: enjoying the unique craft beer Colorado breweries have to offer. Colorado supplies water for multiple states downstream, and the supply is already falling short of the demands placed on our rivers.

As the main ingredient in beer, water is the lifeblood of an industry that contributes $1.7 billion to the Colorado economy alone. Each day, Conservation Colorado educates citizens on how to be stewards of water, collaborates with lawmakers to protect water at the policy level, and encourages people to stand up for the basic human right to clean, healthy water for all.

Now in its ninth year, Save the Ales has become a staple of the young conservationist crowd. It’s a night to raise a glass with friends while raising funds to protect, conserve, and ensure a future with plenty of clean water for all Coloradans.
