The Tucson Craft Beer Crawl returns February 18, 2017 from 1 – 5 p.m. with 9 venues and up to 30 participating brewers confirmed to date.

VIP check-in starts at 11:30 a.m. at the Beer Garden on Fifth Avenue (55 N. 5th Ave.), 12:30 p.m. for general admission. Bring your ID and printed tickets to receive your wristband, map, and 5-ounce sampling glass.

General admission tickets are $40 online while supplies last, $40 afterwards. VIP tickets, which include early admission, a food voucher, and beer cocktail samples at the VIP bar, are $70. Tickets are another $5 if you wait until the day of the event, if there are tickets left.

Designated driver tickets are $7.

Early bird tickets already sold out, while the 2015 and 2016 events completely sold out, so make sure to buy your tickets as soon as possible.

While rain is possible Saturday afternoon, five venues are indoors and the remaining four will be tented.

A percentage of the proceeds will benefit Watershed Management Group, a Tucson-based non-profit organization that works to restore flow to desert rivers, create healthy urban watersheds, and promote green, walkable neighborhoods.

IOU Sushi III has closed. The all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant on North Oracle Road announced the news on Facebook after about 10 years in Tucson. “This is the hardest post I’ve had to write,” the owners said. The post continued, “we have met some great friends who have become family to us.” Tucson Foodie first visited the restaurant in 2017, when it operated as IOU Sushi IV.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
