Willibrew is for the birds!! Monday June 10th, is the 7th Annual Chimney Swift Conservation Night at the Willimantic Brewing Co (Main St Cafe) 967 Main St, Willimantic.
Join Chimney Swift researchers from UConn and CT DEEP for a wonderful meal, specialty brews, including "Flying Cigar Ale", and the wonderful natural spectacle of hundreds of chimneys swifts "tornadoeing" into two of the state's largest summer roosts. In addition to learning all about these small birds at this family-friendly event, and enjoying the brewery's fine menu, master brewer David Wollner will again be tapping the now famous "Flying Cigar Ale", a portion of the proceeds from each one sold will again be generously donated to the chimney swift conservation effort.
DEEP and UConn researchers will be at the Brewing Co starting at 5:00PM. "Showtime" for the swifts is typically 20 minutes before sundown to 30 minutes after sundown (810PM). Guided tours to the Nathan Hale roost and the adjacent Town Hall roost will occur around 730PM or so. Dinner reservations are recommended for this special event-call 860-423-6777; make sure you plan to arrive early enough to order and enjoy your meal.
