Is there such a thing as a bad brew hike?
Honestly, what could possibly bring down a walk between breweries with good friends? The weather? Maybe. One thing we’ve learned from our trail hikes is that persevering through whatever weather Mother Nature dishes out is part of the adventure. Of course we don’t recklessly head out into any crazy weather. But neither are we to be deterred by the chance of some rain or a little wind chill. And we’re out to prove that brew hiking IS a year round activity!
And so, facing freezing temperatures, we set out on our first brew hike of 2018, our fourth overall. This time in Alexandria, Virginia (ok, technically the first two breweries weren’t IN Alexandria, but for simplicity’s sake, we’re still gonna call this the Alexandria brew hike), covering six miles and visiting four breweries along the way.
