Ale Trails - Penticton: The perfect combo of bikes and beer

Ale Trails - Season 2: Episode 1 - Penticton

'Ale Trails' is a doc style mini-series looking at the intersection between mountain biking and local craft breweries, and how both work to support and enhance their community. In episode 1, we visit the carbon-neutral city of Penticton to experience ‘Canada’s Beer Capital’ boasting eight breweries - the most per capita in the country. The deep rooted cycling culture is a cornerstone of their ‘Fuel Free’ initiative whether it's the hundreds of kilometres of road, rail or singletrack riding.

'Ale Trails' is a collaboration between Mountain Biking BC and the BC Ale Trail, and produced by adventure filmmakers, Ben Haggar and Mike Gamble / Cold Salt Collective.
