The second-annual “MS Pub Crawl” will hit up five different bars around Overton Square in Midtown Memphis.

The event starts at 2 p.m. at Boscos Squared, then goes to the Bayou Bar & Grill, Blue Monkey, Molly’s La Casita, Dublin House, and then back to the Bayou, where the festivities finish around 6 p.m.

The cost is $20 and includes a commemorative T-Shirt and enters you into a drawing to win a free trip to Las Vegas.

The event is sponsored by the Memphis Brewer’s Association, and proceeds benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system and affects 400,000 Americans.

The pub crawl is the first of two beer-related events benefiting research for MS in March. The third annual Brew Movement, a craft beer and homebrew tasting event, will be held March 15, from 6:30-9:30 p.m., at the Chickasaw Oaks Village.
