Beer in the Woods is a fundraiser to help support Friends of the Forest Preserves’s advocacy work, Conservation Corps programming, and community engagement initiatives. It’s also been called “the best beer festival of the season” in the Chicagoland area. At Beer in the Woods, you’ll enjoy tastings from local craft breweries and cideries, guided walks in the woods, nature-inspired crafts, music, and so much more. All while raising vital funds to protect, promote, and care for our beloved forest preserves.

COS is a proud supporter of Friends and will be leading bird walks as part of this event.
