Beers Made By Walking and All About Beer Magazine Partner For World Beer Festival Raleigh


On April 2, Beers Made By Walking and All About Beer will present a handful of unique, place-based beers that reflect a strong connection to local landmarks and flora at All About Beer Magazine’s World Beer Festival Raleigh. Beers are presented in two sessions, from 12:00pm - 4pm and 6:00pm - 10:00pm at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds.

The New Belgium + Hof ten Dormaal collaboration will be the NBB entry

The Beers Made By Walking (BMBW) portion of the festival will include beers from Fullsteam Brewery, Southern Pines Brewing Company, New Belgium Brewing Company, Compass Rose Brewery and Bull City Ciderworks. These beers will include indigenous ingredients that include: ginger, spruce tips, wild flowers, pine needles, and more.

Honoring Beers Made By Walking’s practice of raising funds for local environmental non-profits, All About Beer Magazine is sending a portion of the BMBW proceeds to the Conservation Trust for North Carolina and the Sandhills Area Land Trust. This organization has helped protect natural environments in the state for more than 20 years by working with local land trusts, landowners, communities, and government agencies.

The World Beer Festival Raleigh has four additional components in the event this year. The first is a Belgian Bier Garden with 20 different beers, the second is a North Carolina Beer Garden, featuring 30 different breweries from around the state, the third is a Cider Garden and the last is a beer and cheese pairing experience.
