Cheap Drinks? Crafts & Drafts Passport Has the Deals

Here’s how to score deals on drinks at 24 of your favorite local craft breweries, distilleries and coffee shops.

Looking for a cheap way to check out the bars, breweries, distilleries and coffee shops of Colorado Springs? The annual Crafts and Drafts Passport is back again, unleashing savings with a variety of BOGO and other deals and discounts that deliver cheap drinks at 20-plus spots around Colorado Springs. The best part? The mobile passport is free.

The annual passport program is sponsored by Visit COS as a way to support the Springs’ local craft beverage community. With the free mobile pass, you simply login and access your deal of choice based on your location. The program includes breweries, distilleries, wine, coffee shops, bars and taprooms all over town. Its best deals are free drinks through buy-one-get-one-free offers, but you’ll also find discounted flights and samplers.

The current theme is “The Legends are True!” with graphics and illustrations featuring mythical creatures like Sasquatch enjoying local libations.

“This year’s Crafts and Drafts Passport is all about legendary deals,” said Melissa Williams, director of marketing at Visit COS. “With each redemption made, pass holders can earn points toward prizes that include stickers, limited edition posters and T-shirts.”

Crafts and Drafts runs May 15, 2023 – Dec. 31, 2023, so there’s plenty of time to take advantage of the cheap drinks and deals throughout the year.

The passport is free and easy to access on a mobile device. After signing up, passport holders will receive instructions for downloading the pass to their device, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. Coming up with a creative toast is up to you! (Here are some hints though.)

You’ll find the discounts at the following 24 breweries, distilleries, restaurants and coffee shops.
