Upslope Brewing Co will host its third annual Backcountry Tap Room on Sept. 16, 2017. The experience offers craft beer fans and outdoor enthusiasts a limited release beer in a rustic, pop-up tap room on a mountainside in Colorado’s backcountry.
This year’s Backcountry Tap Room, through a partnership with Outside Magazine, is the exclusive release location of a limited collaboration brew celebrating the publication’s 40 years of inspired adventure and outdoor journalism. The 19.2-ounce Outside Denali India Pale Ale—part of Upslope’s rotating Tap Room Series—is brewed prominently with Denali hops and its limited edition can features a topographic overlay with a custom Outside label.
One hundred percent of proceeds from Backcountry Tap Room will benefit Leave No Trace, with an emphasis on Colorado-based, 2018 “Hot Spots”, public lands that have sustained damage from overuse. An option to participate in a Leave No Trace volunteer day will waive the $10 event fee.
The Upslope Backcountry Tap Room is atop Granby Ranch by way of a three-mile hike or bike. Attendees will receive one can of Upslope’s Outside Denali India Pale Ale and up to two cans of Upslope’s year-round styles. There will be games, food for purchase, and leashed dogs are welcome.
