Throughout August, raise a glass to the river! FMR is thrilled to be the featured Neighbor on Tap at Wabasha Brewery, 429 Wabasha St. S., in St. Paul's West Side community. 

Here’s how you can join the fun and support the river in August:

Drink for a cause
All month long, a dollar from every pour of Wabasha's Kolsch - Rhine Light will support FMR’s efforts to protect and restore the Mississippi River.

Meat raffle madness
On Thursday, August 14, join FMR staff as we host, draw tickets and call out the meat raffle. We'll also raffle off several FMR-branded hats! Receive one ticket per drink purchased between 5 and 8 p.m. FMR's John Briel begins calling at 6 p.m.   

Whitney on tap
Stop by on Wednesday, August 27, 5-7 p.m. when FMR Executive Director Whitney Clark will be your taproom server (either pouring or washing dishes, depending on how well he does). Additional FMR staff will be present and eager to toast to clean water and community.

Whenever you go, consider checking out the Alebrijes festival at Raspberry Island, just over half a mile north of the taproom along the Mississippi River. 

Many thanks to Wabasha Brewing for supporting our work to conserve the Mississippi River!
