Ale Trails Season 2: Episode 4 Kamloops / Williams Lake

'Ale Trails' is a doc style miniseries looking at the intersection between mountain biking and local craft breweries, and how both work to support and enhance their community. In our final episode of Season 2, we’re heading to Kamloops and Williams Lake. Either town could hold the title ‘Birthplace of Freeride’, and both have matured and expanded their mountain bike offerings to include beginner and adaptive friendly trails. On the beer side, visitors and locals alike will be awed by the diversity and depth of the craft beer scene featuring 5 unique breweries serving up anything from traditional lagers, 10%+ Belgian Tripples and IPAs so hazy you can stand a fork up in them.

'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
