Powell Valley Community Education
Barley, Beef & Brew - August 15
Start Date • August 15, 2026
Begin this multi-stop tour with an introduction to the Bureau of Reclamation Shoshone River Project. This project transformed the high desert into 100,000 acres of productive farmland. The next stops will include local dams and their role in the water system.
Did you know Powell grows 80-90% of the barley for the craft brew industry? Learn from a local grower why our climate and flood irrigation are optimal for growing barley.
Your next stop is to a local beef producer. Conclude your time at WYOld West Brewery for a beer-tasting with our local brewmaster with the option to purchase lunch.
Meet at 8:45am at the Powell Visitor Center - 111 Day Street
