Maine Hike n Brew Crew
by Matt Mower
Here's the deal: We're neither craft beer snobs nor the most experienced hikers. But when you live in a state like Maine AKA Vacationland there's plenty of great opportunities to get out and do both. Come join us in the 'brew bomber' AKA Matt's Ford Ranger as we explore trails and tap rooms from Portland to the tiny backwood corners and converse about beer, hiking and other fun stuff.
