For those how haven't heard, beer hiking is a thing despite it not being on Wikipedia. It will surely be there soon, mark my words. I just might have to do the write-up myself if no one else does. So, what exactly is beer hiking? Quite loosely, it's the combining of hiking and drinking beer. It could be as simple as carrying some beer (hopefully in artsy cans, they're lighter) along on your hike. It could also be hiking to places that have beer. In a perfect world, it would involve hiking to rural breweries.
