Every year, a tree from American public land journeys to Washington, D.C., as a Christmas gift from the people, for the people. This year, Reno\u2019s Schussboom Brewing Company<\/a> signed on as a gold sponsor for the \u201cThe People\u2019s Tree\u201d on its journey from Nevada to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The stately red fir tree was selected from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest\u2014the largest National Forest in the lower 48 states\u2014and harvested in late October. It\u2019s now making its way across multiple states before reaching the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in late November. The initiative is organized in partnership with the USDA Forest Service<\/a> and the Society of American Foresters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three Beers for the Journey<\/h2>\n

To mark the occasion, Schussboom brewed up three commemorative beers that pay tribute to Nevada\u2019s natural and cultural heritage. \u201cAbies Magnifica\u201d is a hoppy red ale brewed with foraged red fir tips\u2014yes, named after the actual tree species making the trip. \u201cComstock Lode,\u201d a hazy IPA, tips its hat to Nevada\u2019s mining past and all that gold and silver pulled from Virginia City. And \u201cGhost of Christmas Pils,\u201d a Bavarian Pilsner, honors the rowdy spirits of the Wild West.<\/p>\n

Taking the Show on the Road<\/h2>\n

The tree made its first public appearance on October 25 at Mount Rose Ski Tahoe, followed by an after-party at Schussboom Brewing where the commemorative beers were flowing freely.<\/p>\n

Now Schussboom is hitting the road with the tree, traveling through Nevada and Arizona to pour the specialty brews at community events along the way. They\u2019ll keep the party going all the way to the Capitol for the tree lighting ceremony in December, where the tree will be decked out with handmade ornaments created by Nevada residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a once in a lifetime opportunity to partner with the USDA Forest Service and the Society of American Foresters, represent Nevada across the country, and create Christmas cheer with beer,\u201d said Briana Wagner, President of Schussboom Brewing.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is a 55-year tradition featuring a tree from one of the nation\u2019s 154 national forests. Public events along the route are free and made possible through sponsorships.
