Sip & Strut at the 2020 Tucson Craft Beer Crawl

Jan 17, 20203 min read

It’s time to grab your pretzel necklace and let the good times crawl.

Get your walkin’ shoes ready because the 2020 Tucson Craft Beer Crawl is taking over downtown with local brews and more from 1 – 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 15.

Get tickets here!

The adventure allows you to explore new areas of downtown, new beer, and perhaps favorite beer you’ve already tried in locations you’ve already seen. Either way, it’s a fun experience getting out there and seeing what Tucson has to offer.

12 venues and nearly 30 participating breweries are confirmed so far, but more may to join the party as we creep closer to the event.

Here’s how it works:
    • Buy your ticket
    • Starting at 11 a.m., take your printed or mobile tickets and ID to your selected check-in spot to receive your wristband, map, and sampling glass
    • VIP admission starts at noon and General Admission starts at 1 p.m.
    • Plan your journey with your friends through downtown with the provided map

There’s more than one type of ticket to purchase depending on the kind of crawling experience you’re looking for. If you’d rather not drink but still want to join your friends on the journey, “Designated Driver” tickets are only $8.

2020 Tucson Craft Beer Crawl Tickets

General Admission Tickets ($40):
      • 11:00 a.m. check-in and entry at 1 p.m.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

A new Chihuahuan-style restaurant and tortilla factory is opening in Tucson! @Tortillaschiwas debuts Thursday at 914 N. Grande Ave. in Barrio Hollywood, inside the former Grande Tortilla Factory.

Phoenix restaurateurs Armando Hernandez and chef Nadia Holguin, a married couple originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, are behind the project. The James Beard-nominated duo will bring a roughly 15-item menu featuring dishes from their Phoenix restaurants, including Cocina Chiwas and Espiritu Cocktails + Comida.

Tortillas Chiwas will initially be open Thursdays through Saturdays from 5–10 p.m. with just 38 seats. Reservations are available on OpenTable. The team also plans to mill nixtamal on-site for hand-pressed tortillas, continuing the building’s long tortilla-making history.
