Beer Hiking Book Release and Party

Authors Jim Knowles and English Knowles will be celebrating the launch of their new regional guidebook Beer Hiking Virginia, North Carolina, and DC: The Mountains, Beaches, and Breweries from the Blue Ridge to the Outer Banks—which pairs 40 hikes with 40 local breweries, including Ponysaurus! Regulator will be selling copies of their book on site at the brewery.

A guide to the best hikes and microbreweries around DC, Virginia and North Carolina. Beer lovers and hiking enthusiasts, these 40 Old Dominion and Tar Heel State hikes are for you!

Each carefully selected hike leads you through a stunning natural landscape and ends near a brewery or a brewpub where a local craft beer awaits you! This full-color guidebook features the best one- to six-hour beer hikes around the mountains, lakes, battlefields, rails-to-trails, and coasts of Virginia and North Carolina. It guides you from the top of North Carolina’s Grandfather Mountain to the swamps of Cape Fear estuary, and from Virginia's Eastern Shore to the rolling pastures of Shenandoah Valley. Each trail description includes details on access, difficulty, duration, points of interest, and, at trail's end, a recommended beer, with notes on its appearance, aroma, and taste. You’ll also get an inside look at the creative and passionate craftspeople behind the brewing process.
