While at Birds n' Beer last Thursday, I learned what \"riparian zone\" means. It is the strip between land and stream or lake. (Cue the \"The More  You Know\" clip)\n\nThe center itself is beautiful and great for a small - medium sized event. Lots of modern architecture and what looks like reclaimed materials. It's an eco-friendly building with great native landscaping.\n\nNow to the real part of the review: Bird and Beer is a great event, if you are free on a Thursday night between 5:30p and 7:30p. 5:30 to 6:30 is a chatting/snacking/drinking time with Four Peaks beer in a can. The lecture starts at 6:30 and is very informative. This month was reptile sex and last month was bird sex. The events are usually listed on the events section of Yelp, so check it out now.\n\nThe Center is easy to find. It is just south of the river on Central, with a sign posted on the road pointing towards the building and the parking lot.
