2026 Nevada Craft Beverage Passport
The 2026 Nevada Craft Beverage Passport is celebrating its fifth year. The new passport, filled with specials and stampable pages for many participating breweries, wineries, and distilleries throughout the state, celebrated the milestone with a release party at Bristlecone Brewing Co. in Reno on Jan. 30. It was an especially memorable location given the passport’s first release party was held in the same venue when it was IMBIB Brewery.
The passport is free and includes discounts for several participating businesses. It works as a way for Nevada residents to collect stamps while visiting participating craft beverage destinations. After receiving 10 stamps, passport-holders start winning prizes, including gift baskets, as well as tickets to Reno Rodeo, A Night in the Country concert festival, and 2027โs Brew HaHa.
The Nevada Craft Beverage Passport was created by the Nevada Department of Agriculture along with Made in Nevada and Travel Nevada. The goal is to increase support of the state’s agriculture and tourism industries as well as small businesses. There are 51 establishments included in the passport, which is free to patrons.
The release party included awards for those businesses that have participated all five years, including 10 Torr Distilling and Brewing, Alibi Ale Works, Big Dogโs Brewing Co., Black Rabbit Mead Company, Boulder Dam Brewing Co., Frey Ranch Distillery, Great Basin Brewing Co., High Mark Distillery, Kruze Road Winery, Lead Dog Brewing Co., Nevada Sunset Winery, North 5th Brewing Co., Revision Brewing Co., Schussboom Brewing Co., Shoetree Brewing Co., The Brewerโs Cabinet, and The Depot Craft Brewery Distillery.
