More Gifts for the Craft Beer Lover
Pub Pass
The Pub Pass is a booklet similar to a passport that you can purchase for around $25, depending upon what city you’re in. And then when you take said Pub Pass to a participating brewery, you get a free beer and a stamp in your passport booklet. You pay a fixed price for what is essentially a passport to craft beer goodness.
It’s a one time use at each location, but there are generally 15 to 25 breweries or pubs participating. The Pub Pass is available for several cities across the U.S. You can buy them online at: Get a Pub Pass.
