Covid cabin fever shouldn't keep us from safely enjoying our favorite brew, right?

Join us for PINTdemic 2020.

UPDATE: PINTdemic will run from October 1st through to November 30th of 2020 to ensure everyone who purchases a ticket has adequate time to visit all four Juneau breweries to get their passport stamped and turned in.

Your local Juneau breweries (Alaskan Brewing Co., Barnaby Brewing Co., Devil's Club Brewing Co., and Forbidden Peak Brewing Co.) are joining forces to support Rotary and participate in a brew-off challenge using the theme "Berryfresh" to deliver an amazing new craft brew flavor for the month of October 2020.

Purchase a passport for $20 to support local charity and you'll get a passport that, when completed, gets you a special pint glass to commemorate this unusual year (instead of gathering together, we'll all taste at our leisure while supporting our hometown breweries in satisfying safety). Then go to each brewery in Juneau and purchase the special beer to participate (getting your passport stamped). As a thank you for supporting the humanitarian works of Rotary, and the brewers who help us put on an excellent brewfest every year, each passport purchase also will come with a PINTdemic mask to enjoy those brewery visits in style.

As an extra bonus, we'll be giving out special door prizes to a few lucky passport holders who complete the socially distanced tasting ... just another way for Rotary to say "THANK YOU" for joining the fun of this brewfest alternative.

PASSPORT INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) Purchase a ticket on JuneauRotary.org (EventBrite) for $20. You'll get an email with your digital ticket.

(2) Beginning October 1 start with a visit to Alaskan Brewing Company's Tasting Room (5364 Commercial Blvd) in Juneau during the month of October 2020 to receive a PINTdemic passport and your PINTdemic face mask.

(3) Plan your trips to Alaskan Brewing Co., Barnaby Brewing Co., Devil's Club Brewing Co., and Forbidden Peak Brewing Co. in any order to ask for their "BERRYFRESH option" to sample the special event offering. Stay and enjoy other offerings at the brewery or simply order a crowler/growler to take home. You'll need to purchase the beer if you want to taste it (passport does not fill a glass with beer - this supports the charity's work) but no purchase is necessary to get your passport stamped when visiting breweries.

(4) Once your passport is "stamped" at all four breweries, place your vote in a box at the last brewery you visit and indicate your top choice as to which of the four "BERRYFRESH" beers is your personal favorite - you vote with your completed passport. A completed passport gets you the PINTdemic glass to mark your epic accomplishment.

(5) Rotarians will gather finished passports and contact randomized winners to get them door prizes. You have until close of business October 31, 2020 to turn in your completed passport.

As always drink responsibly, which goes doubly so during a pandemic. Cheers!
