How It Works: The Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District
A big part of what makes this possible is the work of the Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District. The district provides essential water resources that support the agriculture in the region, ensuring the land stays productive and able to yield crops like the ones used in the brewing process. Through the district's management of water resources, Kansas farmers can continue to cultivate their crops efficiently, which benefits local businesses, including breweries like Irrigation Ales.
The Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District’s role in sustaining the land through water resources is critical not only to farming but also to the wider community. As agriculture thrives, local businesses such as the brewery are able to continue producing high-quality products that reflect the region's dedication to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the hard work of local farmers.
In short, Irrigation Ales isn’t just about making beer—it’s about connecting the community to the land, celebrating local agriculture, and highlighting the importance of water resources in supporting both. This connection to the local agricultural system, especially through the Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District, helps make it all possible.
