Court Shoes Only is a collaborative beer initiative crafted to benefit ACEing Autism tennis programs for individuals with autism. The goal of the initiative is to capture the spirit of the brewery community in the cities where ACEing Autism has a program location in order to raise awareness, accessibility and affordability of its specialized tennis curriculum for individuals with autism.

First launched in 2021 in the Charlotte, North Carolina metro, the first Court Shoes Only saw participation by more than 40 breweries, and raised more than $24k for the program. This year, it goes statewide, supporting programs in Asheville, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Durham.

In this conversation, we will learn about the creation of Court Shoes Only, discuss how it has evolved, and dive into the factors that create successful collaborations.

This conversation features:

Aaron MJ Gore (Bevana)

Nils Weldy (Charlotte Independent Brewers Alliance)

Gavin Toth (Divine Barrel Brewing)
