The passport also guides you through the distinctive cities that make up the craft crawl lineup in the South Puget Sound.

Puyallup Valley
The city that's steeped in Americana also is home to locally owned farms that provide ingredients to local brewers. Powerhouse Brewery's recipes include Puyallup Valley hops and local berries. Cockrell Hard Ciders grows, ferments and bottles everything they sell right at their orchard. Half Lion Brewing combines cascade hops and malts for colorful ales that stand out from the forest of traditional beers.

Gig Harbor
Warm your insides with the milk stout at Wet Coast, where brewers get their entrepreneurial spirit from Prohibition law breakers. 7 Seas Brewing started with a tiny taproom and now has two spacious locations, including the 48-tap gathering spot in Tacoma's historic brewery district.

Tacoma Area
Tacoma breweries are geared up for fall. Wingman Brewers features their Miss-B-Haven Tripel with true Northwest hops, and Harmon Brewing Company's Pinnacle Peak Pale Ale is their ode to local icon Mount Rainier. A military veteran runs Forward Operating Base in DuPont to celebrate soldiers with brews such as the rich, toasty FOBtoberfest.

SouthSoundCraftCrawl.com also has information about bike and shuttle beer tours for a memorable tasting experience.
