2nd Annual Tri-Brewery Volksmarch and Canned Food Drive

2nd Annual Tri-Brewery Volksmarch and Canned Food Drive

 

(Carpinteria, CA) -- With the number of craft beer breweries in this seaside town equal to the number of stoplights (that would be three), Island Brewing Company, Rincon Brewery, and BrewLAB are again teaming up for the 2nd Annual Tri-Brewery Volksmarch and Canned Food Drive. The idea is simple: embrace the old German tradition of the 'Volksmarch', or people walk, and hike a 2.3-mile route from brewery to brewery to brewery in the aim of supporting our local Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, while promoting fitness, fun and fellowship.

 

The walk starts Sunday, November 16, at 1:30 pm at Island Brewing Company, with registration starting at 12:30.  The entry fee is a donation of at least two cans of food and a $10 entry fee, after which the participants will receive passports that will be stamped at each brewery and a coupon for food from the Shrimp vs. Chef food truck. The route is mostly flat on paved roads or sidewalks and travels through downtown Carpinteria. All breweries will have beer for purchase. This year the route will vary; walkers may choose which brewery to visit first. Some may opt to head to BrewLAB, while others head to Rincon Brewery. The final leg takes participants back to Island Brewing Company where they will receive the highly coveted commemorative medal for finishers, and participate in an after party featuring food, frivolity and live music.
