9 Stops. 1 Mission.
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.

 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. 

Participating breweries donate proceeds from specially designated ales or beers to support Alzheimer's initiatives. Collaboration will bolster your brewery’s reputation and demonstrate your commitment to serving the community. The 2025 deadline to participate has passed. Interested in getting involved for 2026?
