Brewery Bookends on the Betsie Valley Trail

June 17, 2023

The Friends of Betsie Valley Trail are bringing you the first-ever Brew-to-Brew Trail Day this Saturday, June 24, from 10am to 2pm. The 22-mile trail runs through Benzie County, connecting key towns like Thompsonville, Beulah, and Frankfort. Lucky for us, there are two great breweries along the route: Stormcloud in Frankfort and Five Shores in Beulah. The Brew-to-Brew Trail Day encourages participants to bike the 20-mile loop between the breweries—or run/walk/roll a few segments—with a voucher for one beer at each brewery included in the $25 registration. (Good news: The vouchers are valid for a whole week in case you don’t make it from point A to point B.) Benzie Bus will offer free shuttle services between the breweries for those who traverse the route. Proceeds of the event will go to the Friends of Betsie Valley Trail, the nonprofit that helps make sure the trail is maintained and enjoyed. Learn more at betsievalleytrail.org/brew-to-brew.
