Brews and Bowls: Find the Ultimate Winter Vibe at Flannel Fest

There's a specific kind of magic that happens when the lake ice thickens and the air blows cold. It's the kind of weather that practically begs for a thick wool layer and a warm bowl of something savory. Enter Flannel Fest: our favorite way to embrace the winter chill. Whether you're here for the artisan soups, the craft brew pours, the trivia trophy, or just an excuse to break out your favorite flannel, this walk is all about celebrating the best of the season. As you stroll, stay alert. You'll find clues to the trivia taking place at Inventors Brewpub after the Walk. Grab your tasting glass-it's time to warm up from the inside out.

Gather up your friends and book your tickets for this year's Flannel Fest!
