Proceeds of Upslope Craft Lager to support Colorado TU

Boulder-based Upslope Brewing recently launched its long-awaited Craft Lager. The label on the can features the Colorado TU logo and the phrase "1% for Rivers," demonstrating the brewery's support of rivers in Colorado. Upslope will be donating 1% of the revenue from sales of the lager to Colorado TU. "Upslope Brewing is the perfect partner with whom to start the 1% for Rivers program," said Sinjin Eberle, President of Colorado TU. "Our organizations are deeply rooted in Colorado, our members and their customers share an appreciation of the outdoors and the role that healthy rivers play, and our marketing strategies are complementary."

Buy a new pair of kicks; support coldwater conservation

Another reason to visit Patagonia's Denver store this month: For every pair of shoes sold at their Denver retail location from June 1st - 30th, Patagonia will donate $10 directly to ColoradoTU's coldwater conservation programs through their foundation, 1% for the Planet. No strings attached (ahem, no pun intended).

You can view their footwear selection by clicking here,  BUT REMEMBER ColoradoTU only gets the $10 if you get off the couch and walk down to Patagonia Denver to make your purchase.

TU Says the Colorado River is “Dying”

Erica Stock Angling Trade Magazine The Colorado River is Dying … and the fly fishing community must help save it. If this doesn’t upset you, I don’t know what would. As you may or may not be aware – at its headwaters in Grand County, over 50 percent of the Colorado River’s historic annual flows are removed and diverted across the Continental Divide to Front Range cities like Denver, Broomfield, Arvada, and Longmont through the Moffat Tunnel and Colorado Big Thompson Project (aka, the “CBT”). Once it reemerges through spigots and spouts, OVER HALF of that water is used outdoors to sustain lawns and thirsty landscaping.
