Few towns can boast a craft beer pedigree like Cleveland. That’s why we’ve brought together many of our finest breweries to create the 2026 Cleveland Brewery Passport: a unified way for you to explore everything this city has to offer without going thirsty.
Above all else, please drink responsibly and use a designated driver.
If you have any questions or feedback about the passport, please email [email protected].
How The Brewery Passport Works
Download the Destination Cleveland App available for iOS and Android devices.
Open the app and create a profile.
Hit up your first brewery and make a qualifying purchase (some brews, bites or merch)
Ask your server/bartender for the four-digit code to check in via the Brewery Passport in the App.
Please note: All check-ins are, location sensitive and must be completed while present at the brewery. You must enable Location Services for the Destination Cleveland app on your device in order to check-in.
