Our Program
Great beer and fun, accessible science brought to you by the Flathead Lakers, Flathead Lake Biological Station, and the Flathead Lake Brewing Co.
Science on Tap-Flathead is an informal community gathering to discuss science around the lake, region, world… and sometimes beyond. We invite local scientists and researchers in our community to discuss and present their work and results in ways that are easy to understand and light on data and graphs.
Science on Tap-Flathead is a fun, family-friendly event in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your curiosity and enjoy yourself!
Science on Tap will continue in 2024 at the Flathead Lake Brewing Co. in Bigfork.
After a presentation by the guest speaker, question and answers and a conversation about the topic will follow… all while enjoying locally crafted beer.
The Flathead Lake Brewing Company generously donates $1.00 from every pint of beer sold in The Cellar from 5 pm to close to the Flathead Lakers and the Flathead Lake Biological Station. Thank you FLBC!
Support, learn, and have fun!
Presentations start at 6:30 pm on the first Thursday of the month.
