Beer Hiking in New England with Carey Kish

This is a virtual event.

Author Carey Kish traveled over 300 miles on foot and tasted more than 230 different beers to bring readers this great selection of hikes and brews.  Join him for a talk about his new guidebook, Beer Hiking in New England, which showcases a wide variety of fun beer hikes in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, from easy walks to moderate ramble and strenuous climbs. Carey will talk about the stunning scenery that awaits you and the breweries and brewpubs nearby that’ll quench your thirst at the end of your hike. He also has a few interesting tales to tell about the beer hiking journey.

Carey Kish is a seasoned hiker, outdoors writer, beer enthusiast and longtime New England denizen. Kish has hiked the 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine (twice), the 1,100-mile Florida Trail and the 2,654-mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. Beer Hiking New England is a product of Kish’s lifelong passion for hiking and his love for tasty craft-brewed beer. He is also editor of the AMC Maine Mountain Guide and author of AMC’s Best Day Hikes Along the Maine Coast. You can find him on Facebook and on Instagram @careykish.

Please register Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4416808146855/WN_-okkI7ulRe-bnAlII6Mlzw

Teen Advisory Board!

Join us each month for Teen Advisory Board! The Teen Advisory Board is a GREAT opportunity to get involved here at the library! You'll help plan events and programs, create displays and decorate the teen space, and help drive decisions around the kinds of materials we bring to the YA collection, from books and beyond, all while eating snacks and getting volunteer hours! It's a win-win-win!
