Beyond the Darkness is back for 2024!
Together, let's celebrate and explore dark beers and show some love to your local craft breweries and taprooms!
Inspired by the celebration of the Brewers Association's Stout Month across the US, ZZeppelin & the Northbank Brewers Alliance are proud to present a weeklong celebration of dark beers! From toasty to roasty, from decadent to easy-drinking, from rich to subtle... dark beers take on a wide range of flavors worthy of being explored in-depth.
Here's what to do:
Pick up a passport at any participating SW Washington brewery or taproom (full list to follow). Then visit your favorite breweries and pubs for their dark beers and get a stamp or sign-off on your card! You'll earn entries for some AMAZING prizes with exponential multipliers for the more venues you visit! Keep reading for all the prizes and info on how to enter!
Visit 4 = 4 entries
Visit 8 = 16 entries
Visit 12 = 48 entries
