Craft Beer enthusiasts discover $2 pints!
NY Craft Beer Week starts in just over 2 weeks!

The NYC Beer Passport is your official ticket and program guide, and it’s hot off the presses. For once, the headlines have got it right.

Just $35. That’s three easy, simultaneous installments of only $11.67 for your very own
NYC Beer Passport – BRAND NEW – and we’ll even give you one penny back.

Craft beer is what we all love, affordable craft beer is even better, but with your Passport in hand, there’s more! Not only do you get a $2 pint at each of the participating bars, but you’ll also get exclusive access and great deals all week long:

• Reduced rates on reservations for any of the Beer Walks or the Brooklyn Brewery Scavenger Hunt.
• A complimentary serving of the special event beer, NY3, at the Gotham Cask Festival.

• AND several of the bars are extending their discounts through Labor Day of next year!
