Pub Pass: Your Ticket to Epic Brewery Adventures (And Deals)

Do you love breweries? And discount deals? Are you someone who loves to explore the vibrant craft brewery scene when traveling? Do you find joy in sampling unique beers while immersing yourself in the local culture? If so, you’re not alone! As a seasoned traveler with a passion for beer, I’ve discovered that breweries are not just places to enjoy a cold one – they’re hubs of creativity, community, and culinary delights. They are places that I seek out in most cities and towns that we stay in or pass through when traveling. Let me tune you in to a little tip: if you’re looking to enhance your brewery hopping experience while saving some cash along the way, let me introduce you to one of my travel go tos: PubPass.

Introducing PubPass: Your Ticket to Brewery Bliss

PubPass isn’t just your average mobile app – it’s your key to unlocking some of the best brewery deals. With PubPass, you gain access to exclusive buy one get one free offers at participating breweries, allowing you to double the fun while savoring delicious craft beers. It’s not all over the U.S., but it covers some pretty good ground.

Navigating the PubPass Experience

So, how does PubPass work exactly? Before embarking on your next adventure, simply open the PubPass app and check out the map to see if there are a few participating breweries in your destination. If so, then PubPass makes it easy to plan a brewery itinerary for your travels.

For just $5, you can purchase a one-month subscription to PubPass – a steal considering it’s often less than the cost of a single beer at most breweries. Even if you only visit one brewery during your trip, you’ve already started to make your money back with the buy one get one free deal.

Embarking on Brewery Adventures Near and Far

From the bustling streets of Denver to the charming corners of southern Florida, PubPass has led me on countless brewery adventures. Each brewery visit is a journey filled with new flavors, interesting stories, and memorable experiences shared with your trusty travel companions

Whether I’m sipping on a crisp IPA in a trendy taproom or enjoying a lager in a historic brewery building, every pint tells a story of passion, craftsmanship, and community. With PubPass, the possibilities for brewery exploration are endless – and the memories created along the way are truly priceless.

Uncovering Hidden Gems

One of the things I love most about using PubPass is the opportunity to discover hidden gem breweries that I may not have found otherwise. While larger, more well-known breweries certainly have their appeal, there’s something special about stumbling upon a small, independent brewery tucked away in a quiet neighborhood or off the beaten path.

These hidden gems often offer a more intimate and authentic brewery experience, allowing you to chat with the brewers, learn about the brewing process, and sample some truly unique and innovative beers. Plus, with PubPass, you can enjoy these hidden gems at a discounted price, making the experience even more rewarding. In fact, we used PubPass for BOGO brewery deals on our recent trip to Denver.

Supporting Local Businesses

Another reason I’m a big fan of PubPass is its focus on supporting local breweries and businesses. In an era dominated by big beer conglomerates and mass-produced brews, it’s more important than ever to support independent breweries and the communities they serve.

By using PubPass to explore local breweries, you’re not only treating yourself to some amazing beer – you’re also supporting the hard-working brewers, entrepreneurs, and artisans who pour their heart and soul into creating unique and high-quality brews. It’s a win-win for everyone involved, and it feels good to know that your beer dollars are going toward supporting local businesses and helping to keep the craft beer community thriving.

Creating Lasting Memories

Whether you’re embarking on a weekend getaway with your partner, planning a fun-filled bachelor or bachelorette party, or simply looking for a new and exciting way to spend a Saturday afternoon, PubPass is the perfect companion for your brewery adventures.

From sampling flights of hoppy IPAs and rich stouts to enjoying delicious food pairings and live music performances, each brewery visit is a chance to create lasting memories with the people you love. And with PubPass by your side, you can make the most of every moment, discovering new breweries, trying new beers, and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of the craft beer community.

Cheers to PubPass!

With its convenient app, exclusive buy one get one free offers, and focus on supporting local businesses, PubPass makes it easy and affordable to discover the best breweries in a town while creating unforgettable memories along the way.

Cheers to good times, great beer, and saving a few bucks!

My 6 Steps To Winterizing Plumbing of Our Camper

We typically spend quite a lot of time in The Camper every year, so it’s a little sad when the temperatures start to get quite chilly and we find it time to pack her up to hibernate for the winter following our halloween/harvest camping traditions.

The first year after purchase of our trailer, the dealer winterized it for free.  But the following year we faced the decision of paying for it to be done or doing it ourselves.  I spent a decade wrenching on cars, pulling them apart and putting them back together.  But for whatever reason, I still didn’t know if I could…or maybe it was more so that I didn’t really have the desire to take on this winterization project.

After mentioning to a friend who had an RV, he laughed at the dilemma I was creating in my head of it and assured me that it was not that hard at all and I could do it my self for the price of one antifreeze bottle.

Being the cheap soul that I am, I took the leap and committed to learn to do it myself.  And Oh My Goodness….so easy!!  It literally takes me more time to sweep, wipe and clean out the interior of all our live-in remnants than it does to do these 6 simple steps.

Of course every unit will vary somewhat.  I share with you the general steps of what works for mine, which will carry over in many regards to others.  It’s notable that all our waste tanks were already drained immediately following our last night of camping.

Supplies and tools required:

1 bottle RV & Marine Antifreeze

1 1/16 socket and wrench

Phillips driver

Rubber hose (with treaded adaptor to fit RV)

Step 1:

Uncap all the low point drains.  

(My unit has 5)

Allow all water to drain

Replace caps.

Step 2:

Open hot water maintenance panel on the exterior side wall of the unit.

Within here, open pressure relief valve on top.

Use socket to remove anode at bottom and inspect.

If any water is present, allow to drain.

Close relieve valve.

Replace anode (with existing or new depending on condition).

Close panel.

Step 3:

From inside the camper, turn water valves to bypass the heater:

Close the hot valve on the plumbing exiting the heater.

Close the cold valve on the plumbing entering the heater.

Open the valve on the bypass line that runs between the hot and cold lines.

Step 4

Open access to the water pump. (Mine requires removal of a phillips screw)

Use the pig tail line to draw antifreeze into the system.  The line proved in my unit is too short to reach the antifreeze, therefore I use an additional length of hose threaded on to extend the factor provided one.

One end of hose should be connected to the system and the other in the bottle of antifreeze.

Open valve to to allow connection to the water system.

Step 5:

Turn on pump.

Turn on each faucet, one at a time, including hot and cold, until the pink of the antifreeze runs flows through.

Don’t forget, shower head and toilet.

Step 6:

Turn off pump

Turn off faucets

Pour remaining antifreeze in equal parts down all drains

Wipe up excess from sink and tub

After that is complete, we disconnect the battery and store it inside for winter.
