Craft Beer

Craft Beer AVA National Special Program. The program runs January 1, 2027 - December 31, 2029. Redeem completed books by December 31, 2030. This program is intended to challenge participants to find breweries, taverns, tap rooms and restaurants - establishments that serve food and craft beers.

Qualifiers are 12 (two "Six-Packs") AVA sanctioned events (YRE, seasonal or traditional) where the trail passes an establishment offering a craft beer. It is not necessary to go into the establishment or buy or drink a craft beer. Simply view a menu posted outside the establishment, signage on the building or the unique name of the establishment indicating they offer craft beers.
