When Centennial Park was designed, its architects wanted to enhance the work that Mother Nature had already done, not detract from it. That's probably why this Columbia park has won multiple awards for its layout, particularly the way it remains sensitive to nature, even with man-made elements.

The largest man-made element is a 54-acre lake. Anglers flock here to cast their lines since the lake is continuously stocked by the State Department of Fisheries, but critters like deer, foxes, herons, turtles, and beavers simply know the lake and its surrounding banks as home. The remainder of the park's 337 acres plays host to 7.3 miles of paved paths that are perfect for running or biking as well as a 2.6-mile trail around the lake. So come to Centennial Park to rent a boat and enjoy the water, head out for a hike, or just enjoy some fresh air in Columbia this summer.

Black Flag Brewing Company switches up its tap list constantly so that the brewmasters get a chance to show off what they've been working on using their small-batch system. Of the 10 beers on tap, five are always the signature brews: the Flagship IPA, the Alpha Pale, the Mambo Sauce Double IPA, the Belgie Saison, and the Brunch Breakfast Stout. But the other five are a toss-up.

Black Flag is currently showcasing the Outback Haze, a Northeast-style IPA, as well as an unfiltered IPA. If you prefer something lighter, order a pint of the Z Morris Blonde, named for the straw-haired protagonist on Saved By the Bell. You can also indulge in a pint of the Belgian Waffle, which is part Brunch Stout and part Belgie Saison. Rounding out the current selection is the Rainbow Road, a hazy pale ale, and the Amber Waves, a warm amber ale. Sample one of the inventive brews this summer at Black Flag Brewing Company!
