This ‘proof of concept’ hike took was successfully completed on Saturday, Oct 21, 2017, visiting five breweries on the Eastern end of Prince William County, Virginia. Many practice beers were imbibed over many months of planning, and many questions were pondered. Could we do it? How long would it take? Some friends took a pass, concerned about the many possible bad outcomes from such an adventure. Not everyone’s cut out to be an astronaut either.
