Beers Made By Walking is a program that organizes innovative,
and artisanal, beer events and programs in the Pacific Northwest and in
Colorado. We have worked with over 45 breweries including Deschutes, New
Belgium, Crooked Stave, Upright, Boulder Beer and others. Specifically, we invite
brewers to go on nature hikes and urban walks, to make beer inspired by plants
found on local trails. We raise money for local, environmental non-profit
organizations through our events. We work directly with breweries, pubs, and a
variety of outdoor organizations to create experiential and educational
programming opportunities. We are a small operation, but we have received national attention in All About Beer, Draft, NPR, Outside Magazine, and we are making room for growth.
