Rose petals, organic strawberries, Oregon-grown coriander, tayberries, and spruce tips! Hops ranging from Citra, Cascade, Strata, Mosaic, Nugget, and many more! Spontaneous fermentation and aging in amphorae, dedicated non-alcoholic brewing, and traditional craft beer practices! We partnered with 15 craft beverage producers and asked them to showcase Oregon-grown ingredients in new products for Cheers to the Land. They drew from the incredible bounty of Oregon farms to create beer, non-alcoholic beer, cider, and kombucha. To find out more about each brew, visit https://lnkd.in/gunFnUd3 We created Cheers to the Land to bring awareness to our work of permanently protecting agricultural land from development and facilitating its transition to future generations, including new and diverse farmers and ranchers. Let's raise a glass to farmers and craft brewers who work hard to produce incredible products in-and-of Oregon!

OAT's Coast Program Manager Tara Olson had a great conversation with Lisa Greiner on the KTIL Tillamook Today podcast, ranging from the Tillamook Working Lands & Waters Cooperative, the importance of farm succession planning, and how OAT can help (and the awesomeness of living in Tillamook County)! https://lnkd.in/egaQjnZw https://lnkd.in/euwPTGDD

We are really excited that Roaming Nobles Brewing Co is part of Cheers to the Land this year. A dedicated non-alcoholic brewery, they created a piney and resinous IPA, with notes of dark berry and featuring local hops from Roy Farms. Fun facts about Roaming Nobles: 🍺 Roaming Nobles is the first dedicated non-alcoholic brewery in Oregon! 🍺 They brew just like traditional craft beer, with all the same equipment and ingredients. 🍺 They do not use preservatives and they pasteurize so their beer is safe & shelf stable. 🍺 They use digitally printed cans and compostable toppers (you can throw them in your green bin)! You can find their delicious Cheers to the Land beer at local stores around the state! https://lnkd.in/gDbHfjF7 (link in bio as well)

"Beer, especially craft beer, is an agricultural product. Maintaining a healthy agricultural community is vital to our ability to keep diversity in our recipes, which keeps diversity in your tap lists."
