The Adventure: We’re hitting up both Solemn Oath Brewing taprooms with a hike at St James Farm Forest Preserve in between. This immaculate forest preserve you’ve probably never heard of is a gem (and for good reason). It’s got manicured trails, beautiful shaded pathways, and a creek that runs through the property. Great blue herons, red-bellied woodpeckers, coyotes, and white-tailed deer spotting are common occurrences here! Post-hike, we’ll swing by Solemn Oath’s Naperville taproom and camp-themed beer garden before heading back to Solemn Oath’s Logan Square taproom to end the trip. The Naperville location has a special event the day we visit – Oathie's Burger Punchout, where burger vendors face off to see who has the best burger. ($15 event entry fee will be waived for Trail to Taproom attendees).
