Sip and support

Few things beat a cold beer on a hot summer day. At Brew for a Cure, you can both indulge in unlimited tastings and know you’re supporting Type 1 diabetes research. Lots of local breweries are on tap, including newer spots like Sactown Union Brewery, Tilted Mash Brewing, Flatland Brewing Co. and Hemly Cider. Out-of-towners include Oregon meadery Nectar Creek, Michigan’s Founders Brewing Co. and San Diego standby Stone Brewing Co. Build up your stomach lining with food truck grub from Mama Kim on the Go, Cecil’s Taste, It’s Nacho Truck and Fuzion Eatz. It takes place 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 11, at William Land Park (3800 W. Land Park Drive). General admission costs $40, designated drivers get in for $10, and VIP, which enjoys early access and a special designated tasting tent, costs $50.
