Pints of Science is our seasonal speaker series that started in the fall of 2025. During the colder months, when it may be a bit chilly to get on the river, we gather at Peaceful Side Brewery one Wednesday a month to learn about topics in conservation, science, or recreation that all relate to Little River and its watershed somehow. Please join us at this free educational event!

Check out our calendar for upcoming dates.
