On Friday, January 26, the Lancaster County Brewers Guild will be releasing its 3rd annual Ale Trail Passport for sale at 27 Lancaster breweries.
The passport is $5 and proceeds support the Guild, a non-profit organization, and its member breweries. Participants can complete objectives at each brewery and once all are achieved, the brewery will stamp them as completed.
As passport holders begin completing breweries, they can begin receiving various prizes along the way. This year’s theme is ‘DRINK IT IN’ (Lancaster) and the prizes are all going to reflect that theme/brand along with the ale trail year and a Guild Logo.
Prizes
• Five (5) Completed Breweries: Guild Sticker (can be redeemed at any participating brewery).
• Ten (10) Completed Breweries: Guild Magnet (can be redeemed at any participating brewery).
• Fifteen (15) Completed Breweries: Guild Koozie (can be redeemed at any participating brewery).

About The Guild
Lancaster Pennsylvania has been a popular destination for a variety of reasons over the years, and by having grown to nearly 30 breweries in the county, craft beer has clearly become a significant factor in serving our communities and attracting outside visitors.
The craft brewing community has largely been one of support, camaraderie, and collaboration. A diverse brotherhood and sisterhood of passionate people who love craft beer and desire to help each other succeed in this industry as well as create the best experiences possible for our customers.
The Lancaster County Brewers Guild was founded in the Spring of 2021 to establish a formal environment for an already existing and rapidly growing network of brewers and industry peers in Lancaster. By creating an organized venue for ongoing communication, collaboration, and networking, we aim to cultivate an even greater level of support for one another.
The Lancaster County Brewers Guild is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization
