The Bearer of this passport is (or has been, or will be) a regular customer at:
Bottlescrew Bill's Pub,
140-10th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
T2R 0A3.

This passport is not valid unless the Bearer has inserted his/her particulars into the appropriate boxes on the following pages, including phone number if you're cute.

The Passport will be kept in a safe place behind the bar at no additional charge. Visa stamps will only be issued for beers consumed in Bottlescrew Bill's and the Passport must be produced at the time of consumption in order to receive a stamp.

ENDORSEMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
The Bearer agrees to surrender their Passport when required to do so by an authorized officer (bartender or server), such action usually being undertaken for excessive drunkenness, outright profanity or doing a Full Monty in the bar.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
The bearer of this Passport has one year from the date of issue to complete a tour of the globe by drinking his/her way Around the World as follows:

By referring to the VISA SUB-LIST, the Bearer will consume a total of 80 beers, preferably in the order in which they appear. Each time a beer is consumed, the bartender will stamp the Passport in the appropriate space, and the Bearer may then complete the particulars thereof. If you cannot successfully circumnavigate the globe in twelve months then you will be presumed lost in a beerless desert and your Passport will be destroyed (after we have posted a picture of your distinguishing characteristics on our bulletin board in the main washrooms).

It is noted that Jules Verne took 80 days to travel around the world, and we take this opportunity to remind you not to drink and drive. We recommend you limit yourself to three or four beers at one session. We reserve the right to refuse service to intoxicated patrons. Abuse of this Passport may result in temporary or permanent exile to a lesser drinking establishment.

After successfully circumnavigating the world within the allotted time period, the Bearer will be enrolled in Bottlescrew Bill's Around the World in 80 Beers Club as an Honorary Member, receive completely duty-free a beautiful glass mug and a unique logoed garment to commemorate same, and have their name tastefully engraved on a brass plaque to be placed in a prominent position in the pub, there to be displayed in perpetuity.

BEER TASTING GLOSSARY
Some serious travelers keep detailed notes of their voyages; others frequently forget the name of their hotel. As an aide-memoire of your journey Around the World in 80 Beers, we suggest you may be interested in jotting down the occasional bon mot regarding the flavour and taste characteristics of the various beers you encounter.

It is not compulsory to do so, but interested beer consumers may wish to consider the following:

MALT:
The sweetness and richness of a beer usually comes form the barley (or other lesser cereals, such as rice or corn). The barley is malted and then roasted, the degree of roasting affecting (among other things) the colour.

HOPS:
The spiciness and flowery aroma of a beer is often influenced by the use of various hops in the later stages of the brewing process. These often show their presence by a dryness or tartness in the finish.

BODY:
A well-made beer has a good balance between malt and hops, is sufficiently (and not overly) carbonated for its style, and has an alcohol level that matches its flavour and mouthfeel.

FINISH:
The taste left in one's mouth after swallowing the beer determines whether (or how soon) one will order another. This subjective feeling or like or dislike is as crucial to one's enjoyment of the beer as the mood and friendship of one's drinking companion(s)
