Tap into Downtown
Tap into Downtown is a unique craft brew crawl experience that engages our downtown businesses and transforms their shops into craft beer tasting rooms! Sample twenty-four different craft brews in up to twelve different downtown venues. This isn’t your mama’s craft beer event, either. We’ve chosen to focus on brews that you can’t find in most grocery stores, and we occasionally toss in a few familiar varieties, too.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door the day of the event, but tickets do go fast and are limited to the first 350 attendees. Attendees must be over 21 to participate and the ticket price includes a commemorative tasting glass, pretzel necklace, and wristband (not to mention all of those brews). New for 2021, be sure to participate in the craft brew scavenger hunt. Find our hidden bottle caps along the brew crawl and exchange them for great prizes!
SAVE THE DATE TO JOIN US ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2022, FROM 6-9 P.M
Tickets will go on sale July 1, 2022.
