Oregon City sits on the southern end of the Portland metropolitan area, and in 1844 it was the first U.S. city west of the Rocky Mountains to be incorporated. To raise awareness of the somewhat under-the-radar Oregon City craft beer scene, six of the area taprooms have partnered up to create a ScavengeBEER interactive passport-style game as a fun way to explore the area.
More from a press release:
The hunt is a collaboration between 12 Bridge Ciderworks, Coin Toss Brewing, The Growler Run, New Ancients Brewing, Madison Taproom and Shattered Oak Brewing. Players can pick up a card at any of the six participating locations and complete one of the activities listed on the card. The bartender will verify the task was completed and stamp the card. Players who collect stamps at all six locations will receive a prize from the final location and be entered to win one of the weekly grand prizes.
The hunt was conceived from the need to support small, locally owned taprooms that are still weathering the effects of the pandemic on their businesses. This ScavengeBEER Hunt draws guests who may already be familiar with the main street into Uptown and Midtown Oregon City to discover new places to meet with friends and enjoy great drinks and food.
“We appreciate our loyal regulars, and we’d love to welcome in some new guests! Lots of people have moved to Oregon City in the past couple of years, and they may not yet have had a chance to explore all of the great brewery and cidery options around town,” said Tim Hohl, Founder of Coin Toss Brewing. “This is a great opportunity for people to get out and discover the wide variety of taproom offerings that we have here in OC.”
With goals ranging from “Sip on a Stout” to “Post a selfie with the owner,” visitors can fulfill their hunt requirements with a variety of entertaining and delicious tasks. All ScavengeBEER Hunt cards must be returned to a participating taproom by close of business on January 31, 2023.
