Discover the nuances behind local brewing favorites at Explora’s Science of Beer on Friday, August 23 from 7:00 to 10:30 pm.

Guests can enter Explora's Makerspace to try activities while wearing Vision-Shifting Beer Goggles. Visitors can attempt stacking cups, walking a maze, and playing cornhole while simulating the effects alcohol has on their vision.
