Rockin' River Ranch Rye IPA Tasting Event + Public Lands Day Celebration

Join us on September 27 from noon to 4 p.m. for an afternoon at Arizona's newest state park, Rockin' River Ranch State Park for a specialty beer tasting and to celebrate Public Lands Day! The Rockin' River Ranch Rye IPA is a custom brew, with 10% of sales benefiting the park, in a partnership between Flagstaff brewer Historic Brewing Company and Arizona State Parks and Trails.

Space is limited! Get your event ticket online now. When purchased in advance, your ticket includes admission to the park (sold separately on the day of the event, so don't wait!). This is a family-friendly event; people under 21 may enjoy soda instead of beer tastings and children 6 and under are FREE to attend.

At the event, you'll receive two samples of the specialty brew (for those 21+ or soft drinks for those underage), delicious food from Satchmo's BBQ of Flagstaff, raffle prizes, live music, and guided nature walks on the hour and a seed ball activity to celebrate Public Lands Day. Additional varieties of beer made by Historic Brewing Company will be available for purchase (must be 21+). Tasting event proceeds benefit the Friends of the Verde River; 10% of Rockin' River Ranch Rye IPA beer sales will be donated to Arizona State Parks and Trails.
