Wherever you find yourself in Pinellas County you’re never far from a locally owned brewery, and beer bods are in for 2024 thanks to Visit St. Pete/Clearwater’s Gulp Coast Passport.

The passport program debuted in 2021 and has returned to guide visitors and residents alike to over 40 local breweries, tasting unique brews from talented brewmasters throughout the county.

The passport is available on users’ mobile devices and comes with deals and discounts at the participating breweries. To sign up for a pass go to visitstpeteclearwater.com, then claim your pass via text or email and add it to your home screen for immediate use. To earn points and redeem discounts and special offers passholders just have to show their mobile pass to the brewery staff member.

Users who rack up enough stops can cash in for a newly redesigned Gulp Coast t-shirt commemorating their pitcher-perfect journey.

“Last year, we had more than 10,000 people take part in our passport program. Our local breweries love to share their craft with visitors and residents,” said Brian Lowack, Visit St. Pete/Clearwater President/CEO. “With this new passport, we’re looking to continue to shine a light on a truly unique aspect of our destination – the Gulp Coast!”

Must-visit stops for passholders include Florida’s oldest microbrewery Dunedin Brewery, St. Pete staple Green Bench Brewing Company, and both of 3 Daughters Brewing locations in St. Pete and Clearwater Beach.
