A guide to the best hikes and microbreweries in Southern California

Beer lovers and hiking enthusiasts, these 40 Southern California hikes are for you! Each carefully selected hike leads you through a stunning natural landscape and ends near a brewery or a brewpub where a local craft beer awaits you. This full-color guidebook features the best one- to five-hour beer hikes in Southern California.

It takes you along Pacific Coast beaches, up to high peaks and stunning waterfalls from the Southern Sierras to Cleveland National Forest, and through the desert landscape of Joshua Tree National Park.

Each trail description includes details on access, difficulty, duration, points of interest, and, at trail's end, a recommended beer, with notes on its appearance, aroma, and taste. The choice of breweries reflects the wonderful diversity of the SoCal brewing scene, and gives you an inside look at the creative and passionate craftspeople behind the beers.

""Over the past several years, both the hiking and the beer scene in Southern California have improved and expanded. It's great to have a guide that combines them both and spotlights lots of local favorites!""

Casey Schreiner, author of Day Hiking Los Angeles and Discovering Griffith Park and founder and editor-in-chief of Modern Hiker
