Beer Hiking Southern California - Johanna Flashman - Bog

A guide to the best hikes and microbreweries in Southern California
Beer lovers and hiking enthusiasts, these 40 Southern California 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 five-hour beer hikes in Southern California. It takes you along Pacific Coast beaches, up to high peaks and stunning waterfalls from the Southern Sierras to Cleveland National Forest, and through the desert landscape of Joshua Tree National Park.
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. The choice of breweries reflects the wonderful diversity of the SoCal brewing scene, and gives you an inside look at the creative and passionate craftspeople behind the beers.

They say hiking is about the journey, not the destination--but sometimes the promise of a cold beer at the end of the day makes the journey even better.
