Caffeine Crawl coming to Milwaukee on Aug. 27

Coffee and tea lovers can take part in the Caffeine Crawl on Aug. 27, sampling the goods at Milwaukee shops.

Participants can choose one of four routes, starting at 10 or 11 a.m., and drive or bike to each of the five or six stops. At each, they'll be able to sample coffee, and some stops will have samples of tea or kombucha, juice, soft drinks and chocolate.

The crawl gives participants a chance to learn more about the people and the coffee at the stops. The event is organized by the Lab, based in Kansas City, Mo., which is holding a Caffeine Crawl in Madison on Aug. 26 and more crawls around the country.

Participating are: Anodyne Coffee Roasting, Brewed Cafe, Colectivo, Dryhootch Coffeehouse, Hawthorne Coffee Roasters, Kickapoo Coffee, Pilcrow Coffee Roasters, Rishi Tea, Rochambo Coffee & Tea House, Stone Creek Coffee and Valentine Coffee Roasters.

Tickets are $30 or $33, depending on the route, and include an event swag bag. See the routes and buy tickets online at caffeinecrawl.com/.wisconsin-tickets.html. The tickets can be picked up at the tour, and the exact route will be emailed to participants.
