CAPA Beer Walk Oct. 4

Get ready for one of the most exciting days of the year ? the Annual CAPA Beer Walk is back and better than ever! Whether you?re a returning participant or joining us for the first time, prepare for an unforgettable experience filled with great company and exceptional brews.

This year, five generous homeowners in the historic Joliet Cathedral Area will open their backyards for an afternoon of fun and festivities. Each stop will feature local breweries showcasing their finest selections, and delicious food will be available to help you savor every sip. Expect lively music, entertaining games, and delightful surprises ? each home will add its unique flair to the celebration!

As part of one of five enthusiastic groups of beer lovers, you?ll spend approximately 50 minutes at each location before moving on to the next. Tickets are required and limited and sell out quickly ? don?t delay! (21 and over event). Returning this year: the popular ?Guess the Macro Beer? Challenge.

Bring cash for the 50/50 raffle during the final hour. Important Notes: Each group will start at a different home and receive their tasting glass there.

To stay with friends, ensure everyone purchases tickets in the same group. (There?s no ?best? group ? just choose one and enjoy!) If you?re buying tickets for others, you?ll receive all event updates, so be sure to share them. Group names are based on beer styles, but they don?t indicate what beers will be served. All attendees MUST be 21 or older.
