We will paddle the Little Platte River in Grant County to learn about a riverine invasive species, Japanese hops. We will pause to help the Friends of the Platte River eradicate it from the stream bank for an hour or so, then repair to the Po tosi Brewing Company and National Brewery Museum to appreciate a finer hop, Humulus Lupulus, used in Good Old Potosi Beer.

Where: Little Platte River, Grant County, WI
Cost: $25/person (please bring your own boat, appetizers will be provided at the brewery)
