What is Passport to OVB?
Passport to OVB is our season-long culinary trip around the world. Each month, Ocean View Brewing visits a new country with a special food and drink menu inspired by that destination. Pick up your Passport at OVB and collect a stamp each time you visit a featured destination.
Visit four Passport destinations to qualify for a commemorative Passport to OVB glass at our World Travelers Celebration in June. No purchase is required to receive a stamp — just ask your server or stop by the host stand during a Passport weekend.
