Next Stop, Pantown, As He Decided To Save One The Best For Last

Craft beer fans in Central Minnesota are more than likely familiar with Pantown, located near the Crossroads Center in St. Cloud. Recently one beer-loving Minnesotan, who was looking to close out his Hops Passport, wrapped up the sudsy journey with his final pint coming from Pantown Brewing Company, a unique and fun honor for the local brewery.

The brewing company shared the news on social media on Monday.

After visiting 116 breweries to complete his Hop Passport, George saved the best stop for last—right here at Pantown Brewing! Cheers to you, George, and thank you for making us part of your journey!

The Hops Passport covers over 100 Minnesota craft breweries and is a fun way to explore new places with a pint in one hand and your passport in another.

The 2025 Hops Passport, which is available for purchase here, offers those who hold it a fun momento, as well as a Buy One Get One for where it's allowed. Here's what the 2025 passport is offering those that purchase one this year.
