From the organizer

Boswell Book Company and Black Husky Brewing present an evening with Kristen Radaich, author of Beer Hiking Minnesota, Wisconsin & The Upper Peninsula, a fun new guidebook featuring the best beer hikes throughout the Midwest. Kristen Radaich has carefully selected these hikes to lead beer lovers and hiking enthusiasts through stunning natural landscapes to breweries and brewpubs where a local craft beer awaits. Radaich takes hikers from the historic neighborhoods of the Twin Cities and Milwaukee to the wild spaces of the Northwoods, and the choice of breweries throughout the book reflects the wonderful diversity of the Upper Midwest's brewing scene. Featuring options for day-trips, weekends, or extended brewery odysseys, Radaich's guide includes advice on parking, transport, and dining. It's also a wonderful celebration of independent craft brewers in the Upper Midwest. Kristen Radaich is creator of the Dogs and Detours blog dedicated to dog-friendly adventures, and Radaich and her dog, Lu, have hiked 450+ miles during their trips through the Northwoods.
