FORBIDDEN PEAK ON THE MOVE

The "We were here, we drank beer" adventures continue!

Forbidden Peak Brewery is proud to sponsor one of the most extreme adventurists of the modern era, Mr. John B, on a solo quest to find the true meaning of Beer is Fun. John's mission has been long, and it has been difficult, and it is our duty to report on the adventures of a true beer fan. John's adventures have been so extensive that we had to break the blog post into two segments...

Our hero began in Bellingham, Washington, with a glimmer in his eye and a Forbidden Peak Brewery beanie on this head.
A stop in Bend, Oregon found our friends at Deschutes Brewery and Mirror Pond, the lake namesake of their pale ale.



Friends, do NOT try this next one at home. John and his skilled team of safari guides were able to get close enough to a relative of the JaegerSquirrel surveying his territory over Crater Lake.






John then headed east for a stop at the Grand Canyon. Extensive measurements here determined that, indeed, it is easier to jump over a camp fire after drinking a JaegerSquirrel Porter.
Next stop, Zion National Park in Utah. John is convinced this is where Squatch comes to vacation during the summer months, but unfortunately we were not able to confirm this with a sighting.


It turns out that there is no better way to recuperate from a long trip of adventuring and drinking than a pristine view of Wyoming Lake... while drinking.


While not quite as tasty as Forbidden Peak, Grand Teton in Wyoming is a pretty respectable mountain. Here is where John collected the actual hair of the Yeti for our inspirational espresso stout.
In the end, it was time for a nice evening at a classy establishment in Deer Lodge, Montana. I mean seriously, who doesn't love to spend time in Deer Lodge?
By the way, John recommends avoiding the "VIP" room at this particular casino...

Thanks John!! We'll catch up with you soon when you head a little farther south for your next adventure!
