Brewing Ideas with UF/IFAS Extension

Environmental science meets local craft beer in this conversational program led by UF/IFAS Extension Sarasota County. Hosted at Calusa Brewing, the event brings university experts out of the classroom and into the taproom to discuss regional ecological challenges and sustainable solutions. Attendees engage directly with local scientists and community educators over a pint, exploring topics that affect the Florida landscape, from water quality and conservation to waste reduction. Rather than a formal lecture, the evening is structured as a relaxed, idea-rich dialogue where neighbors can ask questions and learn how to implement environmentally friendly practices in their own lives.
