In partnership with WUWU-LPFM, we are kicking off Earth Day with a screening of Beer Saves the World! Join us on April 21 at 6pm as we screen this Prairie Prophecy Short Film Project at the Downtown Pub. Enjoy happy hour beers and we will be providing free bottle samples and popcorn. The film is 11 minutes long followed by a beer tasting and discussion.
ABOUT THE FILM:
Beer Saves The World! follows the story of Kernza® the world’s first trademarked perennial grain and the advocates who grow it, research it, and the brave individuals who make beer with it! Spearheaded by environmental leaders like Patagonia, the grain has moved from concept to consumer proving that perennial plants that heal the soil can also help wash down a plate of nachos.
As industrial agriculture and GMO crops flood our lives and destroy precious topsoil the message about natural systems farming must be part of the solution conversation.We must send a clear message that a return to polycultures and perennial plants like Kernza® can help save the world’s remaining farmland. Far from the doomsday approach the vital message in HOW BEER SAVES THE WORLD! is served up in a way that is entertaining and as refreshing as a cold beer on a hot day.
Showing how perennial plants are grown, harvested, and brewed into the world’s favorite beverage inspires environmentalism into action. These pioneers in perennially are living proof that humans with a shared passion can world together to make something great, serve others and save the planet.
