Beers Made By Walking taplist announced

Last week, Jessi Loerch wrote about an upcoming event at Naked City Brewing in which nine beers, all inspired by hikes around the Pacific Northwest, would be released. That event is Thursday, Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. and it begged the question: well, what beers are they making?

Now we have the answer. Beers Made By Walking released the tap list, including a 10th beer to the list, Hopworks from Portland, Ore. The majority of these beers were based off three hikes in and around Seattle, led by the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed.

You can have 10 samples for $15 or you can buy $5 pints at the event.
