BC Ale Trail Launches Five Tasting Passports Throughout Metro Vancouver
The BC Ale Trail, in collaboration with Translink’s Dine the Line, is encouraging folks to get out and explore car-free while supporting local businesses during the month of February by participating in Tasting Passport programs running in five different Metro Vancouver regions:
North of the Fraser Ale Trail
-
11 locations in Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster and Port Coquitlam
-
all six breweries located on Murray Street, AKA “Brewers Row”
-
14 locations in Delta, Richmond, Surrey and White Rock
Vancouver Brewery Creek Ale Trail
-
15 locations in Vancouver from Main Street/Mt Pleasant west to Granville Island
-
18 locations in East Vancouver
Beginning February 1, beer lovers can pick up a Tasting Passport from any of the 64 participating businesses and embark on a local tasting tour, collecting stamps with a purchase. Folks choosing not to consume alcohol can also participate by purchasing swag, food and/or non-alcoholic drinks. After earning six unique stamps, drop off the completed ballot at a participating business to enter to win a brilliant beer-themed Staycation prize package. Multiple entries are encouraged.
Each individual region has its own list of participating locations — mainly breweries, but also in some cases, distilleries, tap houses, and private liquor stores — and each passport has its own Staycation prize package, which includes a 1- or 2-night stay, activities, and gift cards to spend on beer and meals, which one lucky entrant will win in each region. There will also be secondary prize draws, including merchandise and gift cards from participating businesses.
All five of the Tasting Passports also feature a special TransLink Bonus square. Show your Compass Card or a receipt for a TransLink ride from the same day to get a stamp in the TransLink Bonus space. This will earn you a chance to win a one-month TransLink pass and a BC Ale Trail prize pack.
