Brewery wants to pay someone to hike Appalachian Trail and attend beer parties
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}There’s nothing like getting drunk and going on a hike… wait, what?
A brewing company in Virginia is offering to sponsor one lucky fan to become its “Chief Hiking Officer.” This position will include hiking the Appalachian Trail, which runs from Georgia to Maine. Also, the CHO will attend several “beer parties” along the way, because there’s nothing like walking across 14 states and then chugging a cold one.
Devils Backbone Brewing, a brewery located near the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, posted the job opening on its website. According to the listing, the brewery is going to pay someone to hike the trail (which, once again, spans across 14 states) in 2021.

But folks always tell us how they wish they had the time to trek the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. So, why couldn’t we sponsor one lucky hiker and help them check ‘conquer the [Appalachian Trail]’ off their bucket list?”
