Better Farm's Annual Snowshoe Hike Brings the Sunshine

WHAT A DAY!! We got some of the nicest weather in six months for Saturday’s snowshoe hike through Better Farm and Indian River Lakes Conservancy land. The 2-mile trek brought our group through forests, fields, marsh, and ridgeline, out to a pristine spot with 360-degree views of untouched wilderness. Better Farm doggos Bonanza Jellybean and Jack joined in on the fun, at times breaking trail and at other times goofing off well away from the humans.

Following the hike, we gathered in the farmhouse for a craft beer tasting featuring an assortment of New York breweries. Our list of featured breweries rotates each year, curated by our volunteers to reflect the season, attendees' palates, and overall vibe. The following made this year’s list:

  • PLAYA DE BROOKLYN, Lime Lager

  • OTHER HALF BREWING COMPANY, Ivy City Fest Bier

  • WAR HORSE BREWING COMPANY, Fight Pony Premium Craft Malt Liquor

  • BIG DITCH BREWING COMPANY, Hayburner American IPA

  • EQUILIBRIUM BREWING COMPANY, Tasman Skies IPA

  • INDUSTRIAL ARTS BREWING, Wrench Hazy IPA

  • KINGS COUNTY BREWERS COLLECTIVE, Marble of Doom Fruited Sour Ale

  • RISING STORM BREWING COMPANY, Nocturnal Storm Vanilla Porter

  • BLACKWATER SOUTHERN TIER BREWING COMPANY, Imperial Stout

Huge thanks to all who came out for one of our favorite events of the year.
