Grab a drink, settle in with a plate of BBQ, and enjoy the show. Whether you’re a beer nerd or just here for a good time, it’s the perfect chance to hang out, ask questions, and see the magic happen.
Good beer, good food, and a front-row seat—what more could you ask for?

Kitsuma Lager Launch Event ft. Smoked Turkey Leg Special!
Join us at Foothills Watershed and be among the first to try Kitsuma Lager, our new Mexican-style golden lager brewed for long days spent out enjoying nature.
Kitsuma is a clean, crisp, and endlessly drinkable beer with enough complexity to keep it interesting pint after pint. Built on a foundation of Riverbend Malt House grains, we used Riverbend pilsner, Vienna, and chit malts, plus heirloom Ohio blue corn for a smooth body and subtle nuttiness. Classic German Hallertau hops round it out with a soft floral finish.
Come ride, refuel, and raise a glass to this great addition to our taps. We’ll also be serving a turkey leg special all day long—that's Joyce Farms turkey smoked on-site!
