Brew + Brew

offered most Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays
April - May and August - October

As a trail runner and beer nerd, Jennifer's husband Brew (yep, that's really his name) feels like his whole life has been building toward this exact tour.  The only thing he might love more than getting people outdoors is drinking beer - and now he's found a way to do both!  Earn your liquid calories on a morning hike in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding Asheville, then hit Beer City's best breweries in the afternoon, avoiding the crowds all day!  This trip is perfect for a guy/gal weekend, bachelor/bachelorette trip, or corporate team building event.

"I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Blue Ridge Hiking Company!  They really did make a 
dream come true.  The guide and caretaker were both exceptional in their experience and ability to make us comfortable -
and the guide provided a perfect balance of instruction and challenge" - S.B., Private Backpacking Trip, October 2019

Guide:

Your guide for this trip will be Brew Davis.  Brew is Jen's husband and grew up in Nashville so he's required by law to be a part-time singer/songwriter. He's also a former History/English teacher and knows enough about both subjects to be dangerous but not helpful. He's hiked with Jen all over the US and Europe and has completed varying pain-levels of ultra marathons from 50Ks to 100 milers and the infamous Pitchell 100K in Western NC. He helps Jen on the speaking and writing side of things, but loves working in the shop and guiding hikes whenever the boss (read, wife) lets him.

Cancellation Policy:

Payment in full is required to register. Trip cost includes a 15% non-refundable administrative fee. Hike may be cancelled up to 1 week before the trip for a refund (minus the 15% fee). Within 1 week, a 50% refund will be offered. Within 48 hours, a refund will only be offered if Blue Ridge Hiking Company cancels the trip due to severe weather.

If your guide does an outstanding job, please show your appreciation with a tip!
