Message 123chug places 29 º 19:42 Wed 7/13/2016 Anyone know of trips that combine the two things in any organized way? Could be a morning run, then hit breweries, bars in the afternoon/evening. Watching the latest Olympic track trials made me think it would be cool to go to Oregon. One could run on trails that Steve Prefontaine did, visit Hayward Field, then down some of the great brews of Oregon. Anyone know of something along these lines? Thanks,,,,

Message ContemplateBeer beers 2092 º places 154 º 20:03 Wed 7/13/2016 Makes me wonder how many breweries/pubs are located along the Appalachian Trail...
Message Jow P beers 7335 º places 487 º 20:09 Wed 7/13/2016 I’ve done a crap load of hiking/beer trips from vacation to day trips but I organize myself. I haven’t heard of any specific running beer trips. I do know of a cycling/beer tour. And here in NYC there is a company that brings people a couple hours north for hiking or kayaking with brewery or distillery visits. I’m sure some googling will turn up something it must exist, you could do yourself easy enough but wouldn’t have group dynamic.

Message Homer321 P beers 5369 º places 54 º 20:40 Wed 7/13/2016 Every brewery around here in our small community has a once a week or bi-weekly fun run that is about 3 miles. Maybe just check their web sites or facebooks.
Message gregwilsonstl beers 2979 º places 37 º 21:22 Wed 7/13/2016 Every vacation I have consists of going for a long run or race then hitting up brewpubs. math is fun, and math says beers are 130-160 calories for 12 ounces, and depending on your weight a mile running burns 130-160 calories; Not as beautiful math as the Fibonacci sequence, but good enough to know to make up for brewpubbery on vacation. Where do you live? Lets go for a run and then brewpub it up.

Message altonbrownd beers 5922 º places 341 º 22:40 Wed 7/13/2016 As a runner I’ve always been intrigued by Médoc Marathon in Bordeaux, but I’ve never heard of anything comparable for beer. A good approach, as you suggest, is to do a long run (I ran 12 miles into work n DC today) and then enjoy yourselves afterwards, having earned your right to imbibe.

Message minutemat P beers 14649 º places 551 º 02:52 Thu 7/14/2016 There are Mikkeller running clubs all over the world, not all linked to Mikkeller bars. Usually once a week i think. Some link up numerous bars, others involve a run that finishes in a different bar or brewery each week.
