Beer passports; new program; bus service a huge hit — The buzz

Beer passport

A new program within the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail has launched recently, which allows beer enthusiasts to collect stamps from breweries along the trail to win a free T-shirt.

“The passport program is designed to encourage craft beer drinkers to explore multiple breweries on the trail,” said Sheryl Wagner, the Director of Tourism for Visit Staunton, in a release.

Here is how the passport program works:

  • Pick up your free Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail Passport at one of our 14 breweries or at visitor centers in Harrisonburg, Staunton, Lexington or the Rockfish Gap Tourist Information Center.
  • Request a passport stamp at each brewery you visit.
  • Collect at least six brewery stamps.
  • Mail in your completed passport to receive a Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail T-shirt

Beer explorers can collect a stamp at any of the 14 breweries, but only six brewery stamps are needed to fill up a passport booklet, the release said. The trail runs from Harrisonburg down past Lexington along Interstate 81.
