Why go on a beer run when you can participate in a beer walk. We don't know what that means, but we do know this: Downtown On the Go's Walk Tacoma tours are awesome, and Wednesday, May 15 local historian Michael Sullivan will lead the tour through Tacoma's Brewery District. For 45 minutes Sullivan will point out interesting buildings in the downtown Tacoma historic district, drop Tacoma historical facts and drink Tacoma beer with the group at the post walk party at Harmon Brewery & Eatery. The walk, sponsored by Union Bank, begins at the top of the University of Washington Tacoma stairs at South 19th and Jefferson then weaves through the district like a person drunk on beer. Fun fact: Walk Tacoma is an eight-event walking series held on the first and third Wednesdays, from April through August.

WALK TACOMA, 5:15 p.m., University of Washington, South 19th and Jefferson, Tacoma, free to walk, 253.682.1734
