Evening Session: Brewing & Biking In Funcie - $15

6:00 pm

We have a fun evening planned that will include brews and biking. Following the Ehren’s lecture we will have a tour of Guardian Brewery and MadJax. Sample some local brews and hear about the effort to transform the east edge of downtown.

Next stop will be Elm Street Brewery for dinner and more sampling. Hear from the owner, Bill Lett, and see one Muncie’s hottest new hangout – in an old Ice House! We will also learn about Muncie’s plans for a Cultural Trail.

A night in Muncie is not complete without a visit to the Fickle Peach. The great selection of rotating taps makes “The Peach” a local favorite. We will hear about the Muncie Bike Plan.

And for those still standing, we will have a nightcap at The Heorot Pub and Draught House a national pilgrimage for those seeking unique beers! (Fortunately, the conference hotel is only 3 blocks away!)
