Get ready to sip for a cause! The inaugural Ales for ALZ Fundraiser ALES TRAILS KNOXVILLE 2025 is set to take place throughout the month of August 2025, culminating with the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's - Knoxville, TN on Saturday, September 20, 2025. This exciting initiative invites beer enthusiasts and community members to enjoy local brews while supporting a vital mission: fighting Alzheimer's disease.
The ALES TRAILS KNOXVILLE 2025 will feature nine participating breweries across Knoxville, TN, each offering unique craft beers and special events. A portion of the proceeds from designated "Ales for ALZ" activities and sales will go directly to the Alzheimer's Association.
Here's how the Ales for ALZ Beer Trail works:
1. Passports: Participants earn their "passports" by making a donation towards one of the Venue Teams. QR codes will be provided on tabletops at each venue to facilitate the donation.
2. Trail Completion: Participants have the entire month of August (August 1st - August 31st) to get 6 of the 9 participating venues stamped on their passport by visiting and making a purchase.
3. Earn a T-shirt: Participants turn in their completed passports to one of the venues and will earn their exclusive Ales for ALZ t-shirt. T-shirts will be available for pickup at Walk Day on Saturday, September 20, or arrangements can be made for pickup at one of the participating venues.
