Do you love craft beer? Want to sample 30+ beers from Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma craft breweries, all in air-conditioned comfort? Then you’re in luck because we’re bringing the Beer Walk back to The Shops at Willow Bend for 2020. The Plano Magazine Beer Walk combines the two favorite things of any self-respecting Plano citizen: shopping and drinking beer.

2020 Dates:

The Plano Magazine Beer Walk is postponed until further notice, but don’t be sad! You can still purchase tickets to our monthly Happy Hour Hikes at Legacy West in Plano, and sample beer, wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic refreshers throughout the neighborhood. Tickets available for Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. 2020 at the link below.

How it Works:

Participants will check-in, grab a collectible glass and sampling map, stroll through the shopping center and enjoy samples of craft brews at 12+ stops. Meet the brewer from featured breweries, as well as enjoy live music, shop from pop-up vendors, score freebies and enter for a chance to win five big prizes at the end of the night. This event is family friendly and guests are welcome to bring their children along to shop. Just be responsible and have a plan for getting home safely!
