BREWS AND PRIZES. The Visit Eau Claire Brew Pass awards prizes for checking in at local breweries.

You can enjoy the sights, sounds and delicious beers from local breweries, all while getting rewarded for it! Visit Eau Claire created a mobile passport called the Eau Claire Brew Pass, which offers rewards to individuals who check in at the 14 participating area breweries.

The Brew Pass is completely free and can be accessed right from your phone. To get your pass, go to visiteauclaire.com, sign up for it and wait for the pass to be delivered via text, present your phone to a staff member at participating breweries for a four-digit code to check-in, and enjoy some lagers or IPAs while redeeming sweet points.

Redeem 300 points to receive a Brew Pass Sticker, 500 points for a deck of Eau Claire-themed playing cards and 1,000 points to receive a Brew Pass t-shirt. The Brew Pass expires on Sept. 1, 2024.

If you check into all 14 participating breweries, you will be entered to win the Grand Prize Sweepstakes, which includes an "It's Beer Eau'Clock" neon sign and a limited edition 8-quart camouflage slow cooker. The winner of the Grand Prize will be selected on Nov. 1, 2023, but you can continue to check in at the breweries through next year.
