Woodcock Nature Center invites the community for a one-of-a-kind hiking and tasting experience at Frothy Forage on Saturday, April 27 (the rain date is Sunday, April 28) between 12-8 p.m. At secret locations along the Woodcock trails, participants will sample unique craft beers, brews and sodas courtesy of an array of local partners.
An event for the entire family, Frothy Forage also includes samplings of Connecticut’s own Reed’s Soda products, Olipop and others as well as Boxed Water throughout the day. Brew partners include long-time Woodcock collaborator Nod Hill Brewery as well as local brews from Quirk Works, Reverie, Watson Farmhouse, and Counter Weight Brewing. Furry family members are welcome too and will enjoy some sips and goodies along the trek thanks to Ridgefield Pet.

Frothy Forage will delight the senses throughout the afternoon with everything from animal encounters and kids’ activities, to live music with Matt Greene, Jeff Fox and others. Food will be available for purchase from the Mobile Pie Pizza truck.
