If Living a Stout Life had a BFF, it just might be Trails2Ales, fellow podcasters. This week we’ve got some tales of gratitude with Kevin and Ken from Trails2Ales, a passion project focusing on…you guessed it beer and biking, or better yet…trails and ales.
With both of them stationary on the east coast in Virginia, we get to learn a bit more about east coast biking trails, east coast breweries, and some of the joy (sarcasm) that the C-word has wreaked upon them.

Working full time jobs, raising family, these two still create time to follow their passions of mountain biking, seeking great craft beer, and creating community through a variety of trail organizations and breweries, while sharing it with others through their podcast, Trails2Ales.
Learning all about their evolution from videos to podcasting to biking with bears (yes bears) and deer, trail sustainability, and their favorites on the east coast, Kevin and Ken will both educate and entertain.
