About the event:
The Pinyon Jay is an iconic and declining bird of the intermountain west. From 1967–2015, populations fell by 3.69% annually for an estimated total loss of 83.5%. But what does it have to do with mead?
Two things: water and climate. Dependent on thriving agriculture and reliable water, the future of your favorite brew, just like the Pinyon Juniper woodlands and the Pinyon Jay, depends on us acting now to protect precious natural resources.
To help spread the word, Flagstaff’s Drinking Horn Meadery is releasing “Oh Hey Pinyon Jay” mead for the fourth year! To celebrate the Pinyon-Juniper woodlands, they are brewing with juniper berries, prickly pear, and local honey – and bottles sport Pinyon Jay conservation labels. In addition to great mead, each bottle provides a call to action and a sign-up link where folks can go to join our growing team of community scientists.
We hope you’ll join us in raising a glass for the Pinyon Jay.
