Proceeds from sales of Court Shoes Only support ACEing Autism programs. Across ACEing Autism’s program locations in the U.S. and beyond, there is a spectrum of abilities and traits that makes no participant exactly alike. The same can be said for the variants of the Court Shoes Only beer.

PROTAGONIST BEER

Court Shoes Only was piloted in February of 2021 as a Charlotte region collaborative beer initiative to benefit ACEing Autism’s Charlotte program locations. In 2022 the initiative expanded across North Carolina to include Asheville, the Triad and Triangle, totaling 65 brewery, cidery and seltzery participants. This year, South Carolina breweries will be making their Court Shoes Only debut!
