Join us at First Magnitude Brewing Company on April 26, 2025 from 1 – 6 PM for an afternoon of craft beer, conservation, and community, supporting global turtle conservation.

Kick off the day with conservation talks from 1 – 2 PM featuring regional turtle experts, then stay for a lively Drink Beer. Save Turtles.® event from 2 – 6 PM.
Enjoy live music, exclusive Drink Beer. Save Turtles.® merch, event-specific tees and glasses, special turtle-themed beer and cocktails available only for the event. Meet live turtles, and connect with local conservation partners who are just as passionate about turtles as we are! (See full list of conservation partners below)

This is a family-friendly event and attendance is free. But purchase a $10 wristband for discounts on beverages, with all proceeds going directly to Turtle Survival Alliance’s mission and conservation efforts. And, round out the fun with turtle-themed giveaways, art, and more—so raise a glass to turtle conservation.

We hope to see you there on April 26th!

First Magnitude and the Alachua Audubon Society have teamed up to host monthly bird walks!

This event meets the first Sunday of each month – **Be sure to check the start time each month as it will vary through the year.** – in front of the Maggie Banner by the entrance to The First Magnitude Warehouse.

The group, led by volunteers from the Alachua Audubon Society, will start walking over to Depot Park 15 minutes after the meeting time. Once at Depot Park, an hour-long guided tour will identify our lovely aerial pals!

The tour should return to the brewery an hour later, giving you time to have a nighthawk…er…nightcap!

This bird walk is more informal than most and all birding skill levels are welcome; enthusiasm is what matters! Bring your binoculars and a thirst for good craft beer (and if you don’t have your binoculars, stop by anyway, because we’ll have binoculars to loan out).
