To celebrate the last day of our first-ever Drink Up Week, we wanted to share with you a fun program that rewards you for drinking local beer.

Yes, you read that right.

By exploring the Brewgrass Trail, you can earn cool Lexington-branded swag like t-shirts, hats + sweatshirts.

The Brewgrass Trail is sponsored by the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau, you know it best as VisitLex. And while the program has been around for a while it recently got a bit of an update.

There’s now a digital passport that allows you to check in to all of the different Central Kentucky breweries you visit — no more pencil + paper passports.
