An online passport is now available for Traverse City Beer Week with the support of Traverse City Tourism. The free passport makes discounts and prizes available from November 10 – 17, in celebration of the northern Michigan beer scene.

“Once again Traverse City has been hailed as a top-ten small town beer scene by readers of USA Today,” said Trevor Tkach, President of Traverse City Tourism. “They called this a ‘hotbed of craft beer.’ The creativity our brewers pour into their creations are worthy of the recognition. Beer Week gives everyone a chance to taste the craftmanship and pride that goes into those brews.”

The mobile passport is available now at https://www.traversecity.com/tcbw/beer-week-ale-trail/. Participants take a self-guided brewery tour that also includes cideries. Those who check into five participating breweries earn a Traverse City Beer Week t-shirt – available for pick up at the Traverse City Tourism Visitor Center. Visitors who stay at a Traverse City lodging property will have an additional opportunity to win big prizes including a $400 lodging gift certificate, tickets to Suds & Snow, downtown Traverse City gift certificates and additional beer-related prizes.

Beer Week participants are encouraged to drink responsibility and take full advantage of designated drivers, taxis, Bay Area Transportation Authority (BATA), bike trails, and drive services.

A full list of participating breweries is available at http://www.traversecity.com/. Some breweries will offer discounts on beer flights and pints.
