Ales for Trails

Join us for a craft beer tasting adventure at TWC!

Tickets available the day of the event for $40, until sold out!

Support nature, conservation, and education while sipping on craft beers and enjoying the trails at The Wilderness Center.  Longtime members and community supporters may rmember a version of this event from before 2020. However, the region’s craft brewing industry has grown and evolved dramatically in recent years and we’re excited to recreate this event by partnering with local breweries, featuring local musicians, and inviting local food trucks to participate. Not interested in sampling, but want to join in on all the fun? Volunteer!

Ideally guests will sample beers outside at TWC because – let’s face it – beer just tastes better outdoors! However, in case of inclement weather, the event will move indoors. Ticket holders will receive a reusable souvenir glass and tickets for 8 sample pours. Tickets for additional tastings will be available for purchase at the event, while supplies last. We’re featuring beers from Codex Brewing, Hoodletown Brewing Company, Muskellunge Brewing Company, Lockport Brewery, and more.

Enjoy live music provided by My Buddy Josh’s Band. 

Food will be available for purchase from Krooked Kitchen food truck.

Registration is required. All attendees must purchase a ticket. Designated driver ticket holders will not be permitted to sample beer at this event. All tickets are nonrefundable.

This event is for adults 21 and older only, including designated drivers. Guests MUST bring ID to be admitted into the event. Infants and children will not be admitted.

TWC’s Interpretive Building and trails will be open to Ales for Trails ticket holders but closed to the general public during our Ales for Trails fundraiser.
