Welcome to the Eastern Sierra Spirits and Ale Trail, where the artistry of craft brewing and distilling intertwines with the rugged beauty of the Eastern Sierra, creating a sensory adventure like no other. A collaboration created in 2023, the Trail includes eight establishments from Bishop to Bridgeport along US Highway 395.
While the Eastern Sierra is a mecca for outdoor adventures and activities, the Spirit and Ale Trail is a great inside activity that can be completed any time of year, no matter the season or weather (although all establishments have lovely outdoor seating, too). That being said, it's always a good idea to check weather and road conditions before embarking on this spirited journey.
And of course, drink responsibly. Plan your trail trek with a sober driver or consider breaking up your visits into different days, months, or even years to fully enjoy the experience while prioritizing safety. ABV packs a bigger punch at higher altitudes and it's especially important to stay hydrated.
Start your journey at any participating brewery or distillery along the Eastern Sierra Ale and Spirits Trail and visit them in any order.
Pick up or print a map and collect a stamp from each location.
Once you've visited all eight establishments, submit your completed map at any participating location to claim your Eastern Sierra Spirit and Ale Trail patch!
New patches are expected to be released each year - follow the breweries and distilleries on Facebook or Instagram to see each year's design.
