Beer drinkers might saunter across the Fredericton walking bridge one evening this summer, sampling the offerings of craft breweries as they go.

The Fredericton Sunrise Rotary Club has submitted a proposal to city council for a "Beer on the Bridge" event on a  Saturday in July. 

"We hope this will be a new signature event for the city, and Sunrise Rotary," club member Ric Cuthbertson said after a recent meeting with councillors.

"We want to be able to showcase what is available here as far as the craft brewing industry."

Stations along the bridge

Vendors would set up along the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge, which crosses the St. John River.

People who buy bracelets would stop in at the various stations and try the drinks. Eight breweries have already signed up, and the club is hoping to get at least six more. 

Cuthbertson hopes the event will happen on July 7, from 5 p.m. to sunset, or about 9 p.m.
