Beer Fest Boot Camp

Arcadia Brewing Company Kalamazoo will be hosting Beer Fest Boot Camp on Saturday, Feb. 21 from noon to 6 p.m.

Beer Fest Boot Camp is the perfect chance to get in game shape and prove you’re ready to handle outdoor winter drinking at the Winter Beer Fest the following weekend.

Arcadia will have fire pits and grills cooking up sausages and s’mores, and hot cocoa will be available. You can also keep yourself warm by playing disc golf putt-putt.

Beer, you ask? Of course. In addition to their current beer lineup, Arcadia will be tapping the first keg of Brigid’s Irish Red for the season.
