Tour de Brewers XXIV is a roughly 13K'ish informal charity run/ride/brewery crawl supporting The Dannon Project that combines the "fun" of a fun run with the real fun of tasting great Birmingham local brews.

The running/cycling event starts at 11:00 a.m. at Tin Roof Birmingham. As a participant, you will receive a race bib with 5 vouchers each good for a craft beer at any of the stops on the event. Stops/Breweries this year include All Good Beverage Company, Avondale Brewing Company, Back Forty Birmingham, Birmingham District Brewing, Cahaba Brewing Company, Good People Brewing Company, Hop City Birmingham (Yellowhammer Brewing) and TrimTab Brewing. Also included is a commemorative t-shirt and and exciting post-run/ride party with music back at Tin Roof where you can win some great prize giveaways! This is a grassroots event where you get to choose the route to each stop and choose which stops you want to go to. Don't worry if you don't know the area - We provide maps and there are plenty of friendly participants and volunteers along the event that will help you find your way.

All of this fun, plus knowing you are supporting a local nonprofit, The Dannon Project, that is impacting the Birmingham community by providing services to promote permanent employment, holistic health, and stable families amongst poor and at-risk communities. Everyone wins!
