In 2011 the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA) commissioned artist, Eric Steen, to launch the first Beers Made By Walking— 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. After gaining inspiration from the 10th anniversary hike in 2021, local craft breweries will share their new hike-inspired beers at a special event tasting at GOCA downtown. These place-based beers serve as drinkable, landscape portraits of the trail.
Participating breweries: Atrevida Brewing, Cerberus Brewing, Goat Patch Brewing, and Local Relic Artisanal Ales.
Ticket includes: 4 beer tastings per person, a special glass and light hors d’oeuvres.
