America On Tap Craft Beer Festivals Teams Up with Pints for Prostates

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – America On Tap Craft Beer Festivals is joining with Pints for Prostates to reach men through the universal language of beer. At select festivals around the country and on its website America On Tap is offering beer fans the chance to win a dream European beer vacation, while raising funds to fight prostate cancer.

America On Tap is the foremost producer of premium beer festivals in the country, and the first and only nationally integrated entertainment series dedicated to showcasing specialty and craft breweries from around the globe. With more than 70 planned beer festivals in 2015, each featuring sought after specialty and craft breweries and their highly anticipated releases, America On Tap delivers a unique and robust beer focused experience filled with live music, great vendors and delicious local food.

At select America On Tap festivals and at its website beer fans can make a donation to Pints for Prostates and get an entry for a special BeerTrips.com tour of Belgium, Germany and the Czech Republic. The guided beer adventure will take place from Oct. 8-18, 2015 and includes stops in Brussels, Cologne, Bamberg and Prague. The trip includes beer tastings, escorted pub crawls, guided city walks, brewery tours, special beer and food pairing meals, and more. The winner of this trip will come from entries collected exclusively at America On Tap events and through its website. No purchase is necessary and the contest is void where prohibited.

“Teaming up with America On Tap to encourage men to take charge of their health made sense because so many of the men at their events are in the age group that needs to hear our message,” said Rick Lyke, founder of Pints for Prostates. “By appearing at beer festivals we are able to communicate with men about the importance of regular prostate health screenings and early detection.”

“Working with Pints for Prostates is a great way for America On Tap to connect with guys on an important level,” said A.J. Bodden, Vice President of Live Events at Townsquare Media which produces America On Tap Craft Beer Festivals. “Our events are fun and a great way to learn about craft beer. We support the Pints for Prostates mission and like the approach they take on the serious subject of men’s health.”
