During the Beer & Seltzer Crawl, Fond du Lac’s downtown businesses become “tasting rooms” where attendees may sample different kinds of 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.

Tips To Make The Most of The Beer & Seltzer Crawl

- 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 of the start of the Beer & Seltzer Crawl 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 Beer & Seltzer Crawl.
