Some traditions involve chocolate.
Ours involve running through the woods looking for beer.
Welcome to Encore’s Great Easter Crowler Hunt.
On Easter Sunday, we’ll be hiding a stack of empty crowlers throughout Cranbrook’s Community Forest. No maps. Just a few photo clues, a bit of fresh air, and a solid excuse to get outside.
Here’s how it works.
Wake up. Rally your people. Lace up the shoes or grab the bikes.
Head into the forest and start hunting.
Find a crowler, and you’ve officially won Easter.
Take a photo with your find and post it on Facebook or Instagram. Tag @encorebeer and use #encorebeer so we can see who got lucky.
Then bring it back to Encore and we’ll fill it for free (before April 27).
A few ground rules.
One crowler per person. Share the glory.
All ages can hunt, but you’ll need to be 19+ to claim the beer.
Be good to the trails. If it’s muddy, go around. Good trail karma only.
We’ll post photo clues Sunday morning to point you in the right direction. Or at least… close enough.
Some people will find them fast. Some will wander for a while. Some will just end up on a really nice walk.
All of those are wins.
Happy Easter, Cranbrook.
See you in the woods.
