Beer and fishing

[Papasequoia]

Now that I got you to read this post due to the subject line, perhaps you will click one more link to find 10 breweries that donate money to fish and wildlife conservation organizations and also use green and sustainable business practices. Plus, at the end there is one that is not so good. There are some good beers on this list, and overall Gink and Gasoline is a pretty interesting blog. Just something to think about the next time you are picking up some brews.

I've enjoyed the offerings of most the list, and now I'll have to find the others. As to Coors, they suck on soooo many levels.

Good information to know. Not that I buy it these days, but more Coors for me.

OMG did you guys read the Denver Post article about Coors? How do you "spill" 77,000 gallons of beer into a stream? - apparently by turning the wrong valve - how much beer is this?

Some fun with numbers...
1 gallon = 128 oz or 10.67 12 oz beers this is the equivilent of 821,590 12 oz beers dumped into the stream
To duplicate that all 1936 of us members of fly fishing addicts would have to descend on the same stream each carrying in fourteen 30packs of Coors and open all the cans and dump them at once into the creek!

Spilled, cheap beer is one thing, but dead fish is another........

Coors illegally spilled 77,000 gallons of beer into the creek near Golden and killed 50,422 fish. The fish kill was believed to be the largest in Colorado in at least two decades, wildlife officials said, and it came 10 years after a similar Coors accident wiped out 13,193 fish in Clear Creek.

Sipping on a Mirror Pond and reading about everyone's recent adventures... I'm glad Deschutes made the list!
