ALES FOR THE ACTIVE
Hot days are stretching out into balmy nights, which are best spent outdoors. Adventurous folk like yourselves have likely spent the day driving, exploring, hiking, climbing, swimming, surfing, biking or eating. Or all of the above. It’s a cliche, but one of the best ways to relax as you reflect on your day of being an awesome individual is to grab a cold beer from the cooler (see our cooler round-up on page 48), sink into a camp chair or RV couch, and survey your camp kingdom.
Any craft beer aficionado knows that there are too many beers brewed in America to even begin to count them. For this special brewery feature, we’re focusing on beers that are created to suit an outdoor, active lifestyle—some quench a thirst, some help the environment, some are light on the alcohol, and some purely reflect the natural qualities of the landscape in which they’re brewed. And there’s no doubt that all of them are top-notch beverages that will appeal to your venturesome spirit, and enhance that day’s-end feeling of bliss.
