The Cleveland Brewery Passport is back, with 44 breweries and a new prize format. Here’s the details.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The fourth Cleveland Brewery Passport has expanded to include the largest number of breweries since its inception. Kids Summer Toys

The non-profit Destination Cleveland’s passport program, a way to encourage visits to dozens of Greater Cleveland breweries, features a new prize format that offers beers lovers the chance to customize rewards.

Users will receive a prize for starting and finishing the passport, but they also can collect points on their first visit to each brewery to trade in for prizes along the way.

The virtual passport is available via ThisisCleveland.com/beerpassport. Participants register and earn points when they buy a drink, food or merchandise at a participating brewery. Staff at each brewery will provide a unique four-digit code to complete the check-in.

All breweries are located within 30 miles of Public Square and not in the territory of another brewery passport (Summit Brew Path, Medina County Brewery Passport, etc.).

The passport covers 44 locations within 30 miles of downtown Cleveland (all are in Cleveland unless noted):

• Earn points, claim prizes: Users will earn points for their first check-in at each brewery to exchange for prizes like caps, shirts, glasses and growlers. Each new-brewery visit earns 100 points (one check-in per brewery). Some breweries are offering discounts for passport users; redeeming those deals will add 25 points.

• Final check-in: After making a purchase and checking in at all 44 breweries, users will be mailed a commemorative pin. Users who complete the passport will be entered in a drawing to win one of five grand prizes, featuring brewery gift cards and other items.
