Brew Hike

We’re hoping for a glorious weather day for our 5-mile Berea Brew Hike at 10:00 on Saturday, June 10th beginning at Coe Lake. We’ll be going through parts of the Metropark, Polish Village, and Baldwin Wallace campus.
The hike will end with optional socializing at Cornerstone Brewery, which offers a full food menu and beverages. Please note that they do not take reservations, but they do know that we will be arriving there around noon. If you do not want to, or cannot, hike you can feel free to come just for the fun in socializing.
Hoping to see you there,
John & Linda, hike leaders [posted 6/4-6/11/23]
