Douglas County Libraries\u2019 2024 Brew Tour is underway. This unique collaboration with local craft breweries and coffee shops features a blend of flavor, fun and community spirit. Running through September 30, the Brew Tour invites participants to explore Douglas County\u2019s local brewing culture while enjoying a variety of engaging events at select library and partner locations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Brew Tour is a fantastic way to celebrate our community, support local businesses, and meet Douglas County residents where they are,\u201d said DCL Special Events Manager Kerri Morgan. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with local breweries and coffee shops to offer this unique experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brew Tour participants can earn prizes and rewards by logging visits to the different participating partners during August and September, and they are automatically entered into DCL\u2019s grand prize drawing for a Happy Brew Year, consisting of one premium stainless steel growler with a booklet of fills from the partner breweries. They also earn points toward prizes by attending exclusive DCL-hosted Brew Tour events, like Bookish Trivia and Music Bingo, as well as pop-up Power Hours.<\/p>\n
Less than two weeks into the Tour, more than 1,700 participants have generated 1,100 individual brewery visits and 630 coffee shop visits, according to Morgan.<\/p>\n
