Trout Safe Pint Night
Join us for a pint night at Refuge in Victor, Idaho!
FTR is raising a glass to 25 years of conservation, and we’re doing it with a hoppy twist. Melvin Brewing is generously crafting an anniversary beer for FTR that’s as refreshing as a dip in the river. Cutthroat Legacy Lager is a limited-edition micro-brew that honors the Teton Watershed’s native trout and is made with Trout-Safe* ingredients.
The Cutthroat Legacy lager will be on tap and proceeds from sales will benefit FTR. Enjoy a drink, meet fellow river-lovers, and learn about your backyard watershed – all while supporting river conservation in the Tetons.
Can’t make it? Don’t worry! we’ll also be pouring pints of our one-of-a king brew at our 25th anniversary party on July 11.
*Trout-Safe certification recognizes farms for going “above & beyond” in protecting water quality and wildlife habitat. FTR is proud to be a founding partner of this program. Learn more at www.troutsafe.org.
Betsy first visited Teton Valley as a 10-year-old from Atlanta, GA, on a family trip west (station wagon and pop-up camper in tow), and knew from that point that the Tetons were amazing and the Rockies were where she wanted to be when she grew up. With a B.A. in Biology and an M.A. in Geography, she enjoyed a career in natural resource management with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service, the last 20 years in Utah and Montana. In 2022, she and her husband Dan started building their home in Tetonia, moving here in 2023, and are enjoying the outdoor joys of the Tetons and getting to know Teton Valley. She enjoys all things outdoors, particularly hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and trying to dabble in bikepacking; loves traveling although finds leaving their senior tabby to be so hard.
