What Is The Reel Craft Pass?

From the Reel Craft website:

This pass is for anyone that loves beer, enjoys travel, and has a passion for adventure! When you are ready to get started on this fun journey, bring your Reel Craft Pass with you to the participating locations and purchase a drink. You will then get your second drink free, or 50% off 2 drinks depending on the state and brewery.

Passes will be valid until December 31st, 2024. A portion from every booklet sale is donated to the Trout Unlimited Chapters of each particular state.

There Are Over 60 Participants In Montana

When I first saw this, I thought there'd be MAYBE 2 or 3 bars in Montana included.  (The Reel Pass is in 10 states.) With over 60 bars, you're sure to get a good return on your $25 investment.  Just think of all the insanely good craft beers you can try from breweries around Big Sky Country. Here are the locations from Reel Craft Pass as of writing:
