Feeling adventurous and wanting to support clean water? Remedy Brewing Co. and Friends of the Big Sioux River are releasing a beer made with Big Sioux River surface water. The process started with 240 gallons of river water that was cleaned, and the remaining 120 gallons were used to make 4 barrels of El Rio, a Mexican-style ale. The beer will be released at noon Saturday on tap and in crowlers at the downtown taproom. All proceeds will benefit Friends of the Big Sioux River. The two collaborated earlier this year on a similar beer for Earth Day.
