Come sample  and savor — craft beers from the area’s best microbreweries, gourmet food bites prepared by local chefs and live music by Encore Duo — at the Cincinnati Nature Center’s Hoots & Hops beer-tasting event on Friday, August 22nd, from 7:00 – 11:00 PM.

Enjoy a moon-lit walk along more than 16 miles of hiking trails, and explore the 1,025-acre nature preserve under the stars.  Sing along to your favorite tunes with Encore Duo at the historic Krippendorf Lodge, or just relax and appreciate the natural harmonies provided by the special guest vocalists – the resident tree frogs, owls and crickets.
