Level: Intermediate
Tuition: $310 + $50 Lab Fee

Join us, Mount Inspiration Apparel and The Appalachian Trail Conservancy on February 7th for our Bear Can Blueberry Chocolate Wheat Ale Release! $1 from each pint of this delicious wheat ale will be donated to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy who leads large efforts to protect, maintain and celebrate the Appalachian National Scenic Trail (A.T.)!
We are also raffling off a few Catawba beer items, along with some amazing swag from Mount Inspiration Apparel and Appalachian Trail Conservancy starting at 6:00!! Raffle tickets will be $2 each and all of the funds will be donated to ATC!
Why did we call this beer Bear Can Blueberry Chocolate Wheat Ale you ask? Well… Bear Can is a storage device used by many backcountry campers and Appalachian Trail hikers to keep their food safe from bears. It’s the best way to practice Leave No Trace along commonly frequented recreation resources like the Appalachian Trail because hanging food is unreliable due to limited availability of suitable branches and savvy bears increasingly skilled at bear-bag snatching.
