Join us on Saturday, March 14th for the fifth annual Beer Mile-ish along Highway 7 in Estes Park!

This year the race will start and end at Avant Garde Aleworks, with a stop in the middle at Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company. Runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome – wether you’re racing to win or taking a more casual beer-crawl approach this is the event for you!

Either way, wear your most festive St. Patrick’s Day flair and get ready to PARTY!

Food will be available for purchase at both Avant Garde Aleworks and Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company throughout the evening so you can fuel up!

All competitors will line up and get ready to start – once the clock starts you’ll grab a beer and start! You can leave for Lumpy Ridge as you finish you beer.
