MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • April 30, 2023
For trampers who appreciate beer, New England has the appeal of being home to a burgeoning craft brewing industry that now includes more than 700 breweries, microbreweries, brewpubs and tasting rooms. Someone should write a book about hiking and beer, I’d thought many times over the years, and so finally I did. Here’s a sample of six hikes near craft breweries – one from each New England state – with each featuring a different natural landscape.
• Monhegan Brewing, Monhegan Island, Maine
• Woodstock Inn Brewery, Mount Moosilauke, New Hampshire
• Whetstone Station, Windmill Ridge Vermont
• Northampton Brewery, Westfield River, Massachusetts
• Beer’d Brewing, Stonington, Connecticut
• Linesider Brewing, East Greenwich, Rhode Island
Please hike safely, have lots of fun and always drink responsibly. ~ Carey Kish
