Taste placed-based craft beers from local brewers inspired by Bay Area landscapes at the third annual San Francisco Bay Area Beers Made by Walking Tapping Event!
The hike-inspired beers were created as part of a collaboration between local brewers, Beers Made By Walking, and Sutro Stewards. Sutro Stewards led the public and 18 brewers on hikes throughout Mount Sutro in the geographic center of San Francisco this summer. Brewers were then tasked with making a beer inspired by things they saw and experienced on the hike such as local plants, sights, and scents.

Tap List:
Black Hammer Brewing – Respect Your Elder
We brewed a small, 6 bbl batch of Respect Your Elders with 10 pounds of dried elderflowers so there would be no mistaking the distinctive yet subtle fresh, invigorating sensations of a flowering path along Mount Sutro. With 3.8% Abv and 8 IBU, you can drink this light sour wheat all day, on a hillside, while counting clouds.
Cody Badger – “Badger Brewing” – Wee Red
Irish red ale with Redwood spring tips and wax myrtle dry leaf additions and tinctures.
Ferment Drink Repeat – Flowers, Wit Love
Our award-winning Belgian Witbier with added spice and a bit of heat from locally-foraged Nasturtium flowers.
Gail Williams – Cedars Walking Hops and botanicals play together. Simcoe hops contribute a taste that is often described as piney, which supports the finishing notes from actual incense cedar buds. This ale is loosely in the IPA family but has a mixture of grains the brewer had on hand, such as wheat malt, much as a farmhouse beer might have had centuries ago in Europe.
Southpaw BBQ – Blue Mountain Plum An English style Barleywine refermented with Brettanomyces Yeast and local plums.
Triple Voodoo Brewery – Special Wiz Wit Belgian Wit with locally foraged Artemisia californica (sagebrush). Herbal and delicious!
