The World's First National Park

On March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park for all to enjoy the unique hydrothermal and geologic features. Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, explore geothermal areas that contain about half the world’s active geysers, and view geologic wonders like the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River.

• On March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. The world’s first national park was born.

• Yellowstone National Park was America's first national park. To this day, Yellowstone remains one of the country's most popular national parks with millions of annual visitors.

• Yellowstone spans almost 3,500 miles, and extends into parts of Montana and Idaho, making it one of the largest national parks in the US.

• Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a dormant super volcano and is home to more geysers and hot springs than any other place on earth. Wonders abound at this truly unique national park, from sites like the Yellowstone Grand Canyon to wildlife like America’s largest buffalo herd, grizzly bears, and wolves.

• Approximately 50 percent of the world’s hydrothermal features are at Yellowstone National Park, creating an effect that makes the ground appear to be on fire.

• The most famous of all the geysers is Old Faithful, one of the most popular and recognized natural wonders in the United States.

I do also recommend people out there looking at exploring the park to please be advise as in the last week and few days the park has experienced dramatic floods do to rain and snow melting causing mudslides and also distructions of roads in certain areas of the park. Damage that has occurred is specifically to the north of the park and last time I checked the park was re-opened June 22 only on the southern loop entrance

Beers

LA RUBIA 5.0 ABV

AMERICAN BLONDE ALE

Coming from a big Puerto Rican family, my dad and I live for family get-togethers and backyard barbecues. We wanted the perfect beer for those occasions so we crafted la rubia with only the finest ingredients. It’s not a lager and it’s not a pilsner. It’s a blonde ale. Light-colored, sunny, easy drinking y con sabor. Welcome to our familia, ¡salud!

Serve this beer in a classic pilsner flute.

Pairings: seafood, salad and light chicken dishes.

HOPPY CHULO 4.8 ABV

HAZY SESSION IPA

Ay Hoppy Chulo. This Hazy Session IPA talks a big game with the full hop aroma of mosaic and citra but deep inside it’s a softy at only 4.8% Abv. Our take on a Session IPA has a juicy body and lower alcohol but Hoppy Chulo will smack hop haters upside the head with juicy dank tangerine, grapefruit, and papaya brought on by 3 different rounds of dry-hopping. With the light sessionable body and big hop flavor he’s balanced… A little bit of a lover and a fighter.

Pairing: indian curries, mild cheddar, minestrone, enchiladas

Availability: July

FATHER FRANCISCO 9.3 ABV

BELGIAN STYLE GOLDEN ALE

Father Francisco is named after the first Jesuit priest that set up a mission at the Miami river in the early 1500s. This golden, light bodied brew has aromatic notes of cloves and other spices along with fruity esters. The candy sugar used in the beer lightens the body and increases the alcohol to create an easy going effervescent ale. Cheers!

Pairing: hazelnut waffles, crab cakes, spicy cajun dishes & triple crème.
