Experience a taste of Newfoundland and Labrador’s craft brew offerings during Come Home 2022 with the new Craft Brewery Passport. With 18 participants in locations ranging from Labrador City to Quidi Vidi and many places in between, this partnership between the Newfoundland and Labrador Craft Brewers Association and Come Home 2022 supports the touring of our province’s beautiful communities while supporting local businesses.
The Craft Brewery Passport contains information about all of Newfoundland and Labrador’s craft breweries, including where they are located and the top three products they produce.
At each participating brewery, cidery, and/or distillery, participants will receive a stamp. The first person to get stamps from all 18 breweries will win a prize valued at $100 from each craft brewery.
The Craft Brewers Passport is available at all participating craft breweries, distilleries and cideries in the province. The full list of locations is available in the backgrounder below.
Come Home 2022 festivals and events are taking place all throughout Newfoundland and Labrador for the remainder of 2022. Newfoundlanders and Labradorians everywhere can visit ComeHome2022.ca to sign up for the Come Home 2022 e-newsletter, which shares updates on festivals and events throughout the year. They can also follow ComeHome2022 on Facebook and Instagram to get up-to-date celebration information.
