Description |
You probably know we love craft breweries (if there's any question, look at our delivery locations!) So we can't wait to get a behind the scenes look at our hometown farm to foam brewery. We will begin here at the farm for a tour of Cedar Valley Sustainable. You'll see the animals and learn about how we started the midwest's first meat CSA. Next, we'll all head in to town for a behind the scenes look at Tangled Roots, Ottawa's 'farm to foam' craft brewery. The hour long tour will be presented by Awesome Ottawa Tours. We'll get a behind the scenes look at their state of the art brewery and historic building. The tour finishes with a complimentary flight of beer. If you would like to enjoy a meal with Jody, Beth, and Tom (our Awesome local historian and tour guide) we can gather afterwards at The Lone Buffalo (the restaurant attached to the brewery). Dinner is not included in the price of the tour. |
