Skagit Farm to Pint 2024 Passports

Behind the Scenes: Updating the Skagit Farm to Pint Passport – A Skagit Marketing Tradition

At Skagit Marketing, we’re proud to be the team behind the annual Skagit Farm to Pint Ale Trail Passport—a project that’s as fun as it is impactful. Each year, we refresh and update the passport to make sure it stays current, vibrant, and valuable to both craft beer lovers and the incredible Skagit Valley breweries we love to support.

Each participating brewery gets the chance to update its listing, highlight what’s new, and share what makes their space special. And for Ale Trail participants, the new passport means another chance to complete the trail, earn rewards, and enter to win prizes. It’s a win-win: a marketing tool that supports local tourism while giving visitors and locals a new way to explore what’s brewing in Skagit.

We created the Skagit Farm to Pint Ale Trail as a way to showcase the unique connection between Skagit’s agricultural roots and its thriving craft beer scene. It’s been incredible to watch it grow—and even more rewarding to see how it brings people into our communities, where they stay, shop, dine, and of course, sip.

We’re also the original creators of the Skagit Farm to Pint FEST, which brings together beer, food, music, and community to support a great cause. Originally hosted by Viva Farms, the FEST is now in the capable hands of Genuine Skagit Valley—and together, we’ve helped raise nearly $150,000 for local nonprofit programs that support sustainable farming and agriculture in the valley.

For us, it’s about more than beer. It’s about building connection, boosting local businesses, and showing the world what makes Skagit so special.

Cheers to beers—and to another year of celebrating Skagit, pint by pint.
