The @dawsontrailcraftbrewery and LRCA have teamed up once again to collaborate on a beer called Hazelwood Helles! Made with simple ingredients, this easy-drinking Munich Helles (5%) is the perfect treat after a long hike! In the true spirit of Earth Day, Dawson Trail Craft Brewery will be donating $1 per liter to the LRCA’s Conservation Areas and Education Programs.

To celebrate, we are hosting a trivia night at the Dawson Trail Craft Brewery on April 21, 2026, from 7 pm to 9 pm! Trivia entry is by donation to the LRCA. Test your knowledge in four rounds of fast-paced trivia for a chance to win a sweet prize!

Trivia Topics Include:
1) Planet Earth Pop Culture Trivia
2) Name that Local Species (birds, mushrooms, trees, and more!)
3) Native, Invasive, or Species at Risk
4) Elements of the Lakehead Watershed (Fire, Water, Air, and Earth)

A huge thank you to Dawson Trail Craft Brewery for partnering with us again! We can’t wait to have another great night!
