Water is our best friend after a vigorous yoga session, but occasionally we want something tastier. Balance & Brews quenches our thirst for more by uniting fitness and beer. Participants get to perfect their downward dog inside local breweries such as Market Garden Brewery and Great Lakes Brewing Co. and then sip on a free saison, IPA or stout. “It sounds funny at first, but it really makes a lot of sense,” says founder Melissa Klimo-Major. “You don’t have to be so serious about your yoga practice, and you are probably going to be at the brewery after class anyway.” The company hosts about six events a month — including this month’s Oct. 2 trip to New York’s Southern Tier Brewing Co. as well as an Oct. 4 session at the new Goldhorn Brewery. “We provide a place that you can go and connect with yourself and connect with everyone else,” she says. “A beer definitely makes it easier to chat with people.” balanceandbrews.com
