What Makes Hop Passport Different?
What makes Hop Passport different than the other passport like programs around the country? We are asked this from time to time from breweries who are partnered with multiple passport programs. There are different ones all over the country. Most of them are local to a city, some are state wide and a few of us expand into multiple states around the country.
I started Hop Passport in February of 2017 while I was a full time server bartender and in September of 2019 I went full time with it. Over the years of visiting 650+ breweries, 100+ podcast interviews, 60+ beer festivals, 2 Craft Brewers Conferences and 2 Great American Beer Festivals, these are the main things that make us different than the other passport programs from around the country.
