This program has been around for a while. I recall joining this program back in 2009. Here’s a little background on the Gordon Biersch brand, from the company’s website:
What began over twenty years ago as a dream of bringing together fresh, handcrafted beer and made-from-scratch, world class cuisine – is today a reality at Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurants from coast to coast and across the Pacific to Hawaii and Taiwan.This dream of exceptional beer and delicious food became a reality on July 6, 1988 when the first Gordon Biersch opened in Palo Alto, California. Acquired by Big River Brewing Company in 1999, Gordon Biersch currently operates 33 restaurants in the United States, including Honolulu, Hawaii. Additionally, three Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurants operate in Taiwan. The Gordon Biersch heritage of superior beer, great food and good times are now being served up fresh daily.
Passport Rewards includes some of the expected in-restaurant reward options, but the program also includes the big-ticket reward options that are “aspirational.” A good way to keep big spenders engaged in the program – give them rewards to save for.
The Passport Rewards Program offers you even more ways to enjoy the Gordon Biersch experience.
