Aaron Trotter Presents Beer Trail Playing Cards
One great gift for the upcoming holiday season for any craft beer lover is a deck of Beer Trail Playing Cards from Aaron Trotter. These playing cards celebrate Craft Beer in detailed sketches.
Beer Trail Playing Cards inspire your sense of beer exploration, this self-guided tour features a different brewery on each card; sketched on location while tasting the beer. Included with each pack is a map, corresponding index, and random beer facts.
Trotter came up with the idea of these brewery playing cards while attending the Oregon Brewer’s Festival in 2013. He then toured the Rose City and sketched 52 different breweries. With the success of Portland Breweries, Trotter next visited Seattle to make Washington Beer Trail in 2014. That was followed by Oregon Beer Trail (including Bend, the Gorge, the Coast and Willamette Valley) and California Beer Trail (highlights from Bay Area to LA and San Diego). The decks are updated yearly as breweries open and close.
To purchase a deck of Beer Trail Playing Cards, each deck costs $20 +$5 shipping and can be purchased here: www.illustratedplayingcards.com.
