Raising a Glass to Community, Conservation & 50 Years of Wild & Scenic!
Flathead Rivers Alliance couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible community that turned out for our Pint Night at Sacred Waters Brewing Company. It was an evening overflowing with connection, creativity, and celebration of the river that sustains us all.
From new friends and longtime supporters to our dedicated volunteers, we felt the love in the room. Midnight Hot Sauce Band kept the groove flowing all night, Sacred Eats kept everyone fueled, and Lary’s Fly & Supply generously provided a raffle prize that brought stoke to the lucky winners.
One of the night’s biggest highlights was revealing the winner of our 50th Anniversary Flathead Wild & Scenic River special edition beer label art contest.
Congratulations to artist Ryan Siron!
Ryan is a passionate hobbyist living in the Flathead Valley. From the tannic waters lazily flowing through fly-over country, to the frigid headwaters of the Rockies, he has always had an attraction to water and the intricate web of people, places, and things connected to our aqueous backyards, near and far. His artwork submission pays homage to the muses of river rats everywhere: wild native fish, wild rivers, and the vibrant community of river people that make your face hurt from smiling too much.
Ryan’s artwork will soon grace the label of a special collaboration brew with Sacred Waters Brewing, set to release in July 2026 as part of our celebration of 219 miles of the Three Forks of the Flathead River protected under the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act.
This collaboration is more than a can design, it’s a tribute to the clean water, thriving fisheries, wild landscapes, and shared experiences the Flathead River provides. And it’s a toast to the people who help protect it.
As we look ahead to the 50th Anniversary celebrations and a full calendar of river stewardship, education, and community events, we’re reminded that this work is only possible because of YOU.
Cheers to the river and to everyone who helps keep it wild.
Stay tuned for more anniversary updates and the official beer release!
