Walnut Creek Pub Crawl

by Bob Jones

The Draught Board is going to do a walking pub crawl to four brew establishments in the Walnut Creek area. Two are microbreweries, one is a brew-on-premises and one is a small funky little pub with a good beer selection. For those interested, there is a great place near by with an outrageous wine bar, so side trips are possible.

Plan to meet at the Walnut Creek BART station between 11:00 and 11:30 am. Whether you are driving or BARTing there, let’s meet in the BART station near the ticket machines. We will visit the Black Diamond Brewing company first (since it’s close by) have a beer, then move on to the downtown area for the balance of the crawl. There are three additional places very close to each other with lots of food establishments nearby. We will discuss the food possibilities when we get there.

Plan on doing some walking that day, so bring good footwear. The longest walk is about 1 mile, but expect to walk about 2 miles over the course of the day. However, there will be lots of stops for refreshments during the walk.

See you then!
