If you love hiking, and like a lot of people in the US right now, are craving some sunshine and Vitamin D, it’s easy to dream about trips to take in the coming months. I thought the trip I did with Mama Boots in 2019 was a perfect recommendation!

The Bend Ale Trail

There’s no oxen needed on this Oregon trail! Instead, the Bend Ale Trail is a collection of breweries in or near Bend where you can get stamps to turn in for prizes.

Terramar Brewstillery

While Bellingham has a bevy of breweries, just south a brewery, distillery, speakeasy, and even some history all await you in Bow!

Dru Bru: Cle Elum

Dru Bru at Snoqualmie Pass is a great beer stop for anyone hiking or snowshoeing near the pass. They’ve added a second location for the lucky folks in Cle Elum!
Skol to Poulsbo Breweries!

Camp Colvos Brewing

Last time I was on Vashon Island, I stopped a block short from seeing this brewery. I knew I had to correct that mistake on my return trip!
Rogue Issaquah Brewhouse

Currently, Oregon-based Rogue Ales has one out of state location–located 20 miles east of Seattle in Issaquah, a prime location for hikers in need of an ale!
101 Brewery

Lost Coast Brewery

Years ago at Blues n’ Brews in Richland, I sampled a beer so wondrously like nectar–Lost Coast’s Tangerine Wheat. Now, years later, it was finally time to have one fresh from the source!
