A week-long progressive pub tour in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti to celebrate American Craft Beer Week!

Arbor Brewing Company is planning a week-long progressive pub tour to celebrate American Craft Beer Week and we want you! Briefly, participants (crawlers) can pick up a “beer passport” at any of the participating craft bars, pubs and breweries prior to the start of Craft Beer Week. Over the course of the week crawlers are encouraged to visit as many locations as possible. Crawlers will receive a sticker for their passport upon the purchase of their first MI beer, which will be discounted.

Once Craft Beer Week is over, crawlers take a snap shot of their passport and email it to craftbeertour@cornerbrewery.com and they will be entered into a raffle. They will receive one entry for each sticker they have collected so the more places they visit, the better their chances at winning a prize. The only cost to crawlers is the price of beer. Each location will be entering an item in the raffle.

The tour will run from May 13th to May 19th. Passports will be available for pick up starting May 6 at any of the participating locations.

For updates and other information, follow the Progressive Craft Beer Tour Facebook page.

Participating locations:
• Arbor Brewing
• Ashley’s
• Bill’s Beer Garden
• Cafe Ollie
• Corner Brewery
• Fraser’s
• Sidetrack
• The Wurst Bar
• Wolverine Brewing
