Väsen 4th Anniversary Celebration: River Clean Up – Väsen is hosting a River Clean up and we would love for the community to join their crew while they clean up one of their favorite trail systems in Richmond, Pony Pasture. Details: Upon arrival, head over to the Väsen registration tent and our crew will get you equipped for picking up litter. Our friends over at Richmond Community Toolbank are hooking us up with the equipment needed (trash picker-uppers, trash bags, and plastic gloves) but you’ll need to bring your trusty water bottle & sunscreen! We recommend wearing comfortable gear and close toed-shoes.

 Once we’ve cleaned up the trails, we’ll weigh the trash we’ve removed and snap a group pic. You’ll also earn a special token that can be redeemed in our tasting room for a cold beverage or a discount on merch! You earned it after helping make your community a better place!
