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!

Orcas Island has the best hiking of the San Juan Islands. And luckily for us, those hikes are all close to some delicious beer!
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!
As I mentioned last week, my cousin recently moved to Poulsbo, WA. I decided to pay him, and some of the breweries there, a visit!
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
After limping back down Mt. Townsend, I needed beer (and ice, and ibuprofen). Luckily, a few miles from the forest road was 101 Brewery in Quilcene!
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!
