"I'd walk a mile for a Camel"

Some years ago (2015?) I rode my little folding bike (true, I didn't walk) some miles from my sister-in-law's place in Burlington VT to Winooski, stood in line for a good half hour, and bought a four pack of Heady Topper. Given the option, I also bought a four pack of Sip of Sunshine. Both beers were a bit of a novelty at the time, and I enjoyed both immensely. I remember the first sip of SOS was--something else. The beers were handed out at the beer store by a man in a cubicle protected by a half-door (closed on the bottom, open on top). I almost felt as if I had been waiting in line for Confession.

 

I would walk a distance equivalent to the calories in the beer…but as someone else stated, only if I don’t have to wait in line when I get there.

 

Walking is actually my primary mode of transportation. For a beer specifically, I think the furthest I’ve walked was about ten miles, and it was a delightful excursion.

But how much would I walk? I’d have to say 500 miles, and maybe 500 more

 

He proclaims.

 

I'd Walk a mile for Olive Loaf and probably my fave beer. But I don't really have a favorite beer, like just one. There's so much good stuff out there (at least here there is). If I had to walk to go get it, I would.

 

Til I'm crawling, hardly breathing and almost dead.. it'll be the last and best beer of my life.

 

As long as you are providing the propulsion, I will allow it.

Cheers!



P.S. Or if you own a camel you could use that beast of burden to pull your wagon.

 

(Singing) "If you've got the time (to walk that far), we've got the beer."

 

I'll drive, even if it's only a few blocks away.
I might be too drunk to walk back home, lol.

 

Huh. Title took me in a different direction.

Big part of getting older is weird, random memory freeze frames.

2003. We live in Tampa. Golf league. Hot. So… hot. After a big afternoon storm. Waiting at a par 3. Crack open a 16oz Bud Heavy.

Fire up a Camel Light.

Solid memory.

 

But, we don't have crap on our streets. You guys do.

 

I try to do a 2-3 mile walk everyday ,so probably that amount for a beer.

 

Wagon? Dude. I have a cooler with wheels, beats a wagon all to hell for hauling beer.

 

Cooler back pack!

 

Do you think they draw straws for who is the 'mule'!?!

 

So mad you talking about a city hundreds of miles away from me

 

I would suggest both a wagon and cooler with wheels are easier to fill with beer and take for a mile walk, or multi-mile walk, than a backpack full of beer, especially a backpack that also is a cooler.

However if that brewery/beer store to which we are going requires hiking through the woods, your backpack idea has both wagon and wheeled cooler beat all to hell
