Denver Beer Co. to Wynkoop is about 1.2 km and Woods Boss to Spangalang about 1 km; the rest are short hops. On Rockies game days (April to September) Wynkoop and the Ballpark blocks are packed; go early or pick a non-game day. Five Points is the historic heart of Black Denver and its jazz scene; Welton Street holds First Friday events with live music. Downtown's office districts are quiet at night; stick to busy streets after dark and use a ride-share for the last leg if you prefer. **Alcohol-free and pacing:** ask at the bar for alcohol-free beers and soft drinks, and remember a half is always fine. Eat along the way, drink water between stops, and skip a stop whenever you like. [More tips](https://thecraftbeercrawl.com/responsible-drinking/).
