Local beer drinkers will have a chance to try some unique beers at Naked City Brewery & Taphouse in Greenwood this Thursday. Beers Made by Walking is a program that invites brewers to make beer inspired by nature hikes and urban walks. The location of each hike is unique, leading to a variety of ingredients for brewers to work with. This is really a great idea for creating beers that are truly local. From a smoked porter made with Western Red Cedar inspired by a hike on Cougar Mountain, to a saison made with locally foraged rose hips inspired by a hike in Discovery Park, these beers are certainly won’t be boring.

The event takes place this Thursday, October 23 from 6pm to 9pm at Naked City in Greenwood.
