Some folks ride 100 miles in the August heat.
We sip. We stroll. We survive.
Hotter’n Ale is BACK — and this year we’re keeping it simple:
Cold drinks. Good friends. Zero riddles.
No maps to follow. No mystery to solve. Just a .5K (yes, POINT FIVE) pub crawl through Downtown Wichita Falls — with plenty of hydration and heckling along the way.
That’s about 1,640 feet… if you’re counting. But honestly? We hope you’re not.
Less solving. More sipping.

Swimwear, floaties, towels, goggles — bring the pool party vibes. But remember:
Shirts are required to enter businesses (even over your beachwear)
Keep it tasteful — we're strolling into actual businesses while they are operating
Think fun and festive, not “festival gone feral”
Let’s be wild... but welcome.
