Beer & Seltzer Crawl

Friday, August 16, 2024, 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

During the Beer & Seltzer Crawl, Fond du Lac’s downtown businesses become “tasting rooms” where attendees may sample different beer, seltzer or non-alcoholic beverages. Stroll from business to business exploring what downtown has to offer and shop while you sip from your souvenir glass.

Visit each location to sample something new from the numerous options available at different businesses throughout Downtown Fond du Lac. You’re sure to find something you enjoy.

Choose your ticket based on your tasting preferences:

Beer Ticket – $20

Have you always stuck to the same type of beer while out with friends? Try something new! With your Beer Ticket, you will be able to try a variety of Lagers, Ambers, Stouts, Pilsners, and IPAs. Maybe you will find your new favorite!

Seltzer Ticket – $20

Have you jumped on the seltzer bandwagon? With your Seltzer Ticket, you will be able to try a whole new selection of locally crafted seltzers! Why stick with the same old seltzer when there are so many varieties to choose from?

Mocktail Ticket – $15

A night of fun doesn’t have to include alcohol! Try out various spritzers and sparkling non-alcoholic beverages.

Online ticket sales have ended, but you can still purchase tickets at the door! See you there!

Tips to make the most of Downtown Fond Lac Beer and Seltzer Crawl:

  • Avoid a long line by checking in as early as possible the day of the event.
  • Keep your glass in hand throughout the event. Consider bringing a sharpie or other items to label/decorate your glass to avoid confusion during the crawl.
  • After checking in early, plan your route in advance to avoid getting separated from your group.
  • Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. The Beer & Seltzer Crawl will be held rain or shine and ticket holders will be walking outdoors between locations.
  • When making purchases during some of the great sales on the route, ask businesses about the option to pick up your purchase after completeing the crawl.
  • Be sure to eat a good meal before the Beer and Seltzer Crawl to avoid consuming alcohol on an empty stomach. There are many wonderful restaurants right downtown available for dining before and after the event.
