Our friends at CSU Spur are treating us to a fun event this summer! We will start off with a chocolate tasting and a bean-to-bar presentation. Then, we will get a tour of the dairy lab to see how ice cream and cheese are processed. Everyone will have the opportunity to make their own pint of ice cream too! Tickets are $20 for members and $30 for non-members. Students can register for FREE!

Once our new website is live, registration will open & can be found at the link in our bio 🔗

RMIFT made a big impact at our last event! The team portioned out 1009 lbs. of pinto beans and packed them into meal boxes. This provided 835 meals to families in need. We are proud to support @foodbankrockies and their mission to nourish people facing hunger in communities across Colorado and Wyoming 💚

Brendan Niemira, PhD, IFT's Chief Science and Technology Officer, visited our section's leadership team last week. We all gathered for dinner and chatted about our careers and the progress the Rocky Mountain section has made over the past few years. We appreciate national IFT's effort to connect with all the regional sections and support the board members in their volunteer efforts.

Rocky Mountain IFT and RCA teamed up for an incredible joint event last week at Acreage by Stem Ciders, and we’re still buzzing from all the fun, flavor, and connection.

Guests enjoyed a delicious taco bar dinner, networked with fellow food and beverage professionals, and got an inside look at the craft behind Stem’s amazing ciders during a brewery tour. The night wrapped up with a guided tasting of several ciders made right at the facility, each one showcasing the team’s artistry and innovation.

Huge thank you to @acreagecolorado for hosting us and to everyone who came out to connect, learn, and enjoy a beautiful Colorado evening!
