Experience Grand Rapids launched its 'Brewsader' program yesterday. It works like this: drink lots of local beers from GR breweries, and they give you free stuff.

Is that all? I do that anyway. 

Just pick up a Beer City Beer Passport at any participating brewery (and just about every brewery is participating) or the GOSite, and start frequenting local breweries. Visit any 8 of the breweries, have them stamp your passport and get a Brewsader T-shirt.

What exactly is a 'Brewsader'?

ExperienceGR defines it this way:

A 'Brewsader' is a person who is an advocate, enthusiast, and imbiber of great beer, on a never ending quest for the perfect brew.  If that sounds like you or someone you know, then Grand Rapids is a great place to begin or continue that quest.
