Introducing Pup Passport; a Canine Pleasant Brewery Passport
The Portland Pup Passport is a new digital guide to deals and financial savings at canine friendly breweries, taprooms and cideries round Portland and the Oregon coast. This Saturday, July 17th they celebrate their launch and first official occasion at Uptown Beer Co.’s 1st Annual Canine Days of Puptown event.
Inspired by the Portland Distillery Passport and their love of canines, local couple Stephen Guarino and Cambrie Burn came up with the thought to start the Pup Passport after adopting a pet named Riley a number of months back. They wanted to convey their new pup out to eat and drink with them, however didn’t know where to start. Oregon pubs have been famously dog friendly, however it’s hard to know when and where you can deliver a canine especially with food service, crowds and kids thrown into the mix. The Pup Passport will not only guide you to good places to take your dog, but offer you incentives to visit them while benefiting animal associated causes.
"Since Portland has a huge craft brewery scene, breweries were the intuitive focus," says co-founder Steve Guarino. "We additionally thought it would be cool for individuals with a passport to get some kind of supply or low cost once they arrive. Additionally we wished to make a digital passport reasonably than a physical one to make it straightforward for folks to use and so that they may navigate to the breweries on their phones. Being digital additionally means we can add breweries and partners later on."
The Pup Passport kicked off with an instagram account on June 1st and the campaign has began snowballing from there. In a brief period over 25 breweries have signed up, and even more partnerships have arisen with native pet pleasant businesses and non-profits like Oregon Humane Society, Subsequent Adventure, and The Bidwell Marriott. Pup Passport will also be sold as reward cards at The Bidwell Marriott and so they hope to sign up more spots.
How the passport works is you purchase for $25 on their website after which get speedy access to a list of participating areas every offering their own deal. The deals only work for you, and might only be used as soon as at every location. Additionally, every participant is providing totally different deals. For instance: Migration Brewing is providing comfortable hour pricing on meals and drinks. Rogue is providing $four Dead Guy Ale pints. Binary / Uptown Beer Co is giving away pint glasses with any $5 purchase. Different folks are giving away dog bandanas, some individuals are doing 1, 2, and $three off first pint, others are doing $1 first pints, Reductions on to-go beer, reductions on online beer orders, etc. Most breweries average $5 price of deals per location (some have more, some have less).
"Eventually we might like to create separate passports for Eugene, Bend, etc, and also create a master passport encompassing all of Oregon," adds Guagino. "I think this thought works so well because we're merging very passionate groups of people: beer lovers, and canine lovers. There's a ton of overlap, so I think we stumbled onto a really exciting area of interest with this idea."
