Ballard Alliance launches Ballard Brewery Passport

In an effort to highlight Ballard’s walkability and brewery scene, the Ballard Alliance has created a passport program to encourage people to visit all 11 of our neighborhood’s breweries.

Called the Ballard Brewery Passport, those participating will be tasked with visiting each brewery and collecting stamps along the way. After obtaining all 11 brewery stamps, passport holders should then head to Hattie’s Hat for a final stamp and a commemorative Ballard Brewery Passport glass. You don’t have to purchase a beer at each brewery —  a visit alone is enough to get the stamp.

There’s also a keychain prize for those who only collect six stamps, redeemable at any sixth location (any brewery is fair game).

The Alliance is also starting the #ballardbrewed tag for people to post updates along the way, with a quarterly photo contest in the works.

  1. This is so great, an excuse to branch out and try places we’ve never been before.
    I feel like this is great marketing as well to bring people from surrounding neighborhoods in to visit Ballard’s offerings.

  2. Why do I have a feeling that an effort to promote “walkability” will be a bunch of people driving between breweries in a rush to collect stamps in order to collect free swag before they run out?

    When things are given out for free it hardly brings out the best in us.
