Drink a Beer, Save a River supports the Wolf River Conservancy's efforts to protect and preserve the Wolf River.

This is an in-depth look at the founding of the Wolf River Conservancy via paddling initiatives, the development of the river guide program and the saving of the Ghost River and the Lost Swamp sections of the Wolf River. Every beer you purchase from 5:30 pm until close means $1 toward the Conservancy's efforts to protect and preserve Memphis's water source. The event begins at 5:30 and panel discussion begins at 6. Great water makes great beer, so let's raise a glass to clean water and support a great cause!
