Join Superior Bathhouse owner and lead brewer, Rose Schweikhart, as she walks us through the process of transforming the National Park’s geothermal waters into some of her famous, frosty elixirs.

TOPIC: Stars, they’re just like us! If we were “huge celestial bodies that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores,” that is.
