American. Craft. Beer. Week. Four beautiful words that, when combined, form a great reason to celebrate. We know for most of you enjoying a lovingly handcrafted adult beverage is reward enough, but what if you could earn prizes just for trying some new beers?
Passports are available in our taproom now (for FREE) and we invite you to join us on a journey beginning Monday next week through some of our favorites here at Confluence.
Participation is simple! Just show up each and every day during American Craft Beer Week (5/16-5/22) and order the "Beer of the Day" from one of our amazing bartenders. We'll serve it up and give you a gratifying stamp in your passport to document your adventure throughout the week. (Beers of the day are date specific, so make sure to come every day!)
FREE STUFF:
4 stamps: One FREE pint
5 stamps: One FREE pint & koozie
6 stamps: One FREE 4-pack & koozie
7 stamps: One FREE 4-pack, koozie, & t-shirt
*Excludes barrel aged beers. Rewards are not cumulative
