PARK CITY, Utah – Friends of the Summit Land Conservancy and beer enthusiasts gathered at Top of Main Brewing on Main Street in Park City on Thursday, Oct. 10 for a fund and friend-raising event celebrating community land conservation. They also enjoyed fresh beer brewed using wild hops that was grown on land Summit Land Conservancy has worked to protect.
Summit Land Conservancy also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the event, which has become a local’s favorite.
“This is a really great community event because anybody can come, it’s a very affordable price point, so lovers of open space can come and enjoy this Open Space Ale we’ve made from wild hops grown on land we’ve protected. It’s a great way to support the cause and not have to attend a crazy gala,” Caitlin Willard of the Summit Land Conservancy said.
