About this Event

Welcome beer and nature lovers! Join us for Hops at Marsh Haven on October 10, 2026 at 4:00 PM to 8:00pm at Marsh Haven Nature Center. Get ready for an evening filled with creative craft beer tastings all while exploring the beauty of the nature center and trails. All ticket sales include a commemorative 8oz glass mason jar to use for the event for samples of each craft brew from every vendor. Participants will be able to taste brews from local breweries including Fifth Ward Brewing Company, Shattered Glass Brewery, Hoya Hop House Brewing, Hillsboro Brewing Company, Hubbleton Brewing Company, and Knuth Brewing Company.

At the end of the night, if there is extra product leftover, we will sell raffle tickets for people to take home a mix-n-match 6 pack of craft brews. So be sure to stay til the end as we'll draw until the beer runs out. Must purchase an entry ticket in order to participate in the raffle.

All participants will have free admission to the Marsh Haven Nature Center museum as well as experience the tranquility of our nature trails. Once the sun goes down the trails will be lit with lanterns guiding walkers to their next station. DD's Mile High BBQ food truck will be on hand selling a variety of delicious eats including BBQ, gyros, smash burgers, and many more goodies! Plus, while you are sipping on a beverage or grabbing a snack, there will be a couple fire pits going for people to gather around.

Tickets in advance are $40 per person, and $45 at the door with a maximum of 200 tickets to be sold. Marsh Haven members will receive discounts on admission via a discount code. Family, Individual, and Senior level members get 50% off admission fee. Associate, Sponsor, and Donor level members receive free admission.

Not a beer drinker? We've got you covered! We'll have non-alcoholic options at each station for a half-priced ticket. Thanks to The Wild Boar Liquor Store in Waupun for donating several of the options we will have on hand from their generous selection!

All proceeds from the event will go towards Marsh Haven's natural play playground! In case of inclement weather, event would be moved indoors. So bring a friend, bring your loved one, or come by yourself because you don't want to miss out on this unique experience!
