Celebrate community with coffee, tea and craft beer across Douglas County.
Douglas County Libraries’ annual Brew Tour is back and brewing up community spirit. From August 1 through September 30, participants are invited to sip their way across Douglas County, discovering local breweries and coffee/tea shops while earning prizes and supporting locally owned businesses.
The tour kicked off on Sunday, July 27, with an outdoor concert on the Aloha Plaza West at DCL’s Castle Rock location. Sponsored by Aloha Fund, the event featured refreshing brews and bites along with live music and giveaways.
“The Brew Tour is a celebration of books, brews and community,” said DCL Special Events Manager Kerri Morgan. “We love how it brings people together over shared passions.”
With more than 15 featured beverage stops, the Brew Tour offers something for every taste. According to Morgan, nearly 1,300 registrants were signed up by the tour’s official start date, August 1. Participants log visits to participating partners and attend exclusive DCL-hosted events at select library and brewery locations to accrue points toward prizes and rewards, and are also entered into a grand prize drawing for a Happy Brew Year.
In 2024, the Brew Tour generated $42,000 in partner brewery and coffee shop sales during its two-month run. In addition, the tour counted over 2,200 registrants with more than 3,000 prizes awarded.
Participating in the Brew Tour is free. Information on tour events and registration can be accessed via the Beanstack app. Visit DCL.org/brew-tour to learn more and sign up. Must be 18 or older to participate, and 21 or older to consume alcohol.
