SUMMER SOLSTICE BEER RELEASE PARTY

CIPA Beer Release Party

Sponsored by our partners and friends at Living a Stout Life (LASL) and Woods Boss Brewing Co., this is our 2nd Annual Beer Release Party to help raise critical funds for our programs and is a great excuse to get together over a good beer.

And that good beer (to be announced soon) is a collaborative effort brewed by team members from Cottonwood, LASL, and Woods Boss. Not only are we brewing beer together, but we are all on the same mission to build community to raise critical funds to break down barriers to help get more kids into the natural world while inspiring them to care for it.
