After our eyes adjust\, we will head out on the trail to watch and listen for some of Minnesota’s native owl species. This portion of the event is outdoors; please dress for the weather. We will be hiking a short distance on a paved trail\, but weather conditions can make the trail icy. You are welcome to bring Yak Traks or trekking poles if desired. We will also stop in the Visitor Center after the hike to meet CNC’s ambassador owl. \nOnce we wrap up at Carpenter\, you will drive the short distance to Spiral Brewery. The staff at Spiral will lead us through a guided tour of the flagship flavors and styles of their beers on tap at the moment in the taproom. The tasting includes a beer flight for each participant and a staff-led discussion around each beer sample. Enjoy the atmosphere of the bright and fun taproom while you learn about the history of Spiral Brewery and its beer. This experience will take approximately 45 minutes\, with the option to stay for another beer you can purchase on your own! Cheers! \nProgram fee includes a hike and 1 beer flight\, and guided tasting.
