I enjoy a good walk but I am a city streets kind of guy and not one to venture into the out of doors and hike in nature. That being said, if I knew there were cocktails (or of course, beer), I could be tempted to find a dusty trail. That is what makes the Summit Sippers such a cool idea. They haul up cocktail ingredients and fancy dress to welcome hikers to the summit. Hauling a keg would obviously be a harder endeavor plus that first draft might get messy but maybe there could be a halfway beer stop too.
On Foot
Considering that it is 78 miles from Transplants and Lucky Luke to Smog City in Torrance, I can’t imagine someone hiking to all of the L.A. Brewers Guild breweries. But then again, I can’t imagine why people bike in this town either.
Why not drink in the comfort of a taproom? Well, after reading this post by Liz Thomas about hiking to all (yes, all) of the breweries in Denver in 8 days. My feet were aching and my liver and wallet didn’t feel good either and that was without watching any of the news footage that was shot.
Kudos to all the beer hikers out there.
