Why We Created This
The Beer Passport was born during the COVID lockdown — from a deep love of local beer and a desire to help independent brewers not just survive, but thrive.
What started as a printed book has become a movement of beer lovers, road-trippers, and small-town supporters across South Africa.
One vehicle. One mission. Thousands of kilometres.
One unforgettable beer adventure.
Why Analog Still Matters
Even in our connected world, many of us still crave something real — something we can hold, scribble on, and stamp with pride.
Inspired by Midori Traveler’s Notebooks, the Beer Passport™ is:
- A personalised journal of your journey
- A page-by-page memory trigger
- A community conversation starter
Add stickers, meet up with fellow Beer Troopers, and collect challenge stamps — from events like BeerEx Africa or trails like the Erdinger Challenge.
Analog and digital don’t compete — they complete each other.
