Why we pour here

Five bars along one mile of Ponce, one passport card, this week's exclusive drink at each stop. Get all five stamps before New Year's Eve.

The trail format works because every stop is pouring the same national card, so you can taste five reads on one week's three drinks in an afternoon. Start on the east end so you finish downhill.
