Inspired by the Portland Distillery Passport and their love of canines, native couple Stephen Guarino and Cambrie Burn got here up with the concept to start the Pup Passport after adopting a pet named Riley a couple of months back. They wished to convey their new pup out to eat and drink with them, but didn’t know where to start. Oregon pubs have been famously dog friendly, however it’s hard to know when and the place you possibly can convey a canine especially with meals service, crowds and kids thrown into the mix. The Pup Passport will not only guide you to good places to take your canine, but offer you incentives to visit them while benefiting animal associated causes.
«Since Portland has an enormous craft brewery scene, breweries were the intuitive focus,» says co-founder Steve Guarino. «We additionally thought it would be cool for folks with a passport to get some kind of supply or discount after they arrive. Additionally we wished to make a digital passport rather than a physical one to make it simple for individuals to use and so that they could navigate to the breweries on their phones. Being digital additionally means we can add breweries and partners later on.»
The Pup Passport kicked off with an instagram account on June 1st and the campaign has began snowballing from there. In a brief period over 25 breweries have signed up, and even more partnerships have arisen with local pet pleasant businesses and non-profits like Oregon Humane Society, Subsequent Adventure, and The Bidwell Marriott. Pup Passport will also be sold as gift cards at The Bidwell Marriott and so they hope to sign up more spots.
How the passport works is you buy for $25 on their website after which get rapid access to a list of participating places each providing their own deal. The offers only work for you, and may only be used as soon as at each location. Also, every participant is offering totally different deals. For example: Migration Brewing is providing glad hour pricing on food and drinks. Rogue is offering $4 Dead Man Ale pints. Binary / Uptown Beer Co is giving away pint glasses with any $5 purchase. Different folks are giving away canine bandanas, some persons are doing 1, 2, and $three off first pint, others are doing $1 first pints, Reductions on to-go beer, reductions on online beer orders, etc. Most breweries average $5 price of offers per location (some have more, some have less).
«Finally we’d like to create separate passports for Eugene, Bend, and so on, and in addition create a master passport encompassing all of Oregon,» adds Guagino. «I think this concept works so well because we’re merging two very passionate teams of people: beer lovers, and dog lovers. There is a ton of overlap, so I think we stumbled onto a very exciting area of interest with this idea.»
