What's better than a cold bevvy, warm pretzel, and local music after a nice paddle on the river?? Stop on over at Earth Rider Brewery + the Cedar Lounge Taproom to enjoy yourself and support an important cause at the same time.

The St. Louis River Alliance is grateful to be the recipient of this month’s Round Up initiative at Earth Rider Brewery + Cedar Lounge Taproom. A little change, from a lot of people, goes a long, long way.

Thank you Earth Rider + the Cedar Lounge for the opportunity!

Therefore, priority is given to those living in one of the 18 neighborhoods adjacent to the St. Louis River in Minnesota. ***If you are not residing in one of these neighborhoods, you can still register but will be added to a waitlist and notified by July 22nd if space is available. Further details are available in the registration link.
