As the temperatures cool down, the Crystal City Business Improvement District is partnering with the Washington Wine Academy to warm up winter with the first-ever 1K Beer Walk on January 21st and 22nd, 2012. As walkers cruise through a fun, indoor course at the Crystal City Shops, they can sample dozens of international and domestic beers, carefully selected by the brew gurus of the Washington Wine Academy. With 20 beer tasting tickets and bread and cheese, walkers have their pick of sips and snacks along the way. At the finish line, walkers will be rewarded for their efforts with a 1K race T-shirt. Heats start every half hour from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.
