Recreation Ale (Terrapin Brewing Company, Athens, GA)
As I type this I’m wearing a Recreation Ale hat while several cans sit chilling in the Singletracks office mini-fridge. This is the refreshing packable beer that inspired this entire list.
Rocket Bike American Lager (Moab Brewery, Moab, UT)
I’ve never tried a Rocket Bike (the beer or the futuristic two-wheeler), but this brew is from Moab which gives it instant trail cred. Rocket Bike is just a 4-percenter, so pack more than one!
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Sierra Nevada Brewing, Chico, CA)
Ah, good old Sierra Nevada. Most of us should have no problem finding a case of Sierra Nevada, which is a good thing–these brews seem to disappear quickly out on the trail!
Squatters Full Suspension Pale Ale (Utah Brewers Cooperative, Salt Lake City, UT)
With a name like Full Suspension, it’s hard not to go for one of these on a long ride. Easy to drink, with just 4.0% ABV.
Trail Head (Fat Head’s Brewery, Middleburg Heights, OH)
This beer is a seasonal American Pale Ale, so good luck getting your hands on one… but if you do, save the sweet-looking can for me! The best part: a portion of the proceeds from every sale go to support the Cleveland Metroparks Trail Fund.

I'm loving that more and more microbrews are available in cans now!
